Installing Servo Amplifier
■ Precautions
• Do not use it in the environment where corrosive gases, combustible gases or flammable materials exist otherwise
electric shock or fire will occur.
• Do not stand on it or place weight on it, otherwise fault will occur.
• Avoid foreign materials entering into the equipment, and do not block the air inlet and outlet. Otherwise damage of
internal components, will failure or fire will occur.
• Follow the installing direction, otherwise failure will occur.
• Keep the specified distance between servo amplifier and the Inner face of control panel or other machines,
otherwise fire or fault will occur.
• Do not apply strong shock on it, otherwise fault will occur.
• When installing amplifier in the control panel
Install it considering the size of control panel, configuration of servo amplifier and cooling method, so as to ensure
that the ambient temperature around the amplifier doesn't exceed 55°C.
• When installing amplifier near a heating element,
Control the temperature rise due to the heat emitted from the element or thermal convection, so as to prevent the
ambient temperature around the amplifier from exceeding 55°C.
• When installing amplifier near a vibration source
Install an anti-vibration device on the installing face of the amplifier, so as to prevent vibration from being transferred
to the amplifier.
• When installing amplifier in an environment where corrosive gases exist
Take measures to prevent corrosive gases from entering. Otherwise malfunction of related devices such as electronic
elements and contactors will occur even though they don't bring about negative effect immediately.
• Others
Do not install it in corrosive gases high-temperature or humid environment, or in the environment where radiation or
large amount of water drops, cutting oil, dust or iron powder exist.
■ How to Install
Amplifier is perpendicular to the wall in installation, as shown in the diagram below.
Follow the general specification of amplifier "2-3 Servo Amplifier Specifications", Page 2-7 to install for other
aspects.
● Installation direction
The amplifier is fixed on the installing face with 2 to 4 mounting holes (number of mounting holes depends on models).
When installing, The front face (access port) of amplifier must be close to the installing personnel in installation.
