Installing
This chapter explains the installation location and installation method.
1. Installation location
Install the product in a well-ventilated location that provides easy access for inspection. The location must also satisfy the
following conditions:
•
Inside an enclosure that is installed indoors (provide vent holes)
•
Operating ambient temperature: 0 to +50 °C [+32 to 122 °F] (non-freezing)
•
Operating ambient humidity 85% or less (non-condensing)
•
Area that is free of explosive atmosphere or toxic gas (such as sulfuric gas) or liquid
•
Area not exposed to direct sun
•
Area free of excessive amount of dust, iron particles or the like
•
Area free of excessive salt
•
Area not subject to splashing water (rain, water droplets), oil (oil droplets) or other liquids
•
Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shocks
•
Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from welders, power machinery, etc.)
•
Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic elds or vacuum
•
Altitude Up to 1000 m (3300 ft.) above sea level
2. Installation method
The driver is designed so that heat is dissipated via air convection and conduction through the enclosure.
When installing the driver, provide clearances of at least 25 mm (0.98 in.) in the horizontal and vertical directions between the
driver and enclosure or other equipment within the enclosure.
Installation conditions and operating ambient temperature for the driver vary depending on the installation method.
Note
•
Install the driver in an enclosure whose pollution degree is 2 or better environment, or whose degree of protection
is IP54 minimum.
•
Do not install any equipment that generates a large amount of heat or noise near the driver.
•
Do not install the driver underneath the controller or other equipment vulnerable to heat.
•
If the ambient temperature of the driver exceeds the upper limit of the operating ambient temperature, reconsider
the ventilation condition or forcibly cool the area around the driver using a fan in order to keep within the operating
ambient temperature.
•
Be sure to install the driver vertically (in vertical position).
When a driver is installed with screws
Install the driver to a at metal plate oering high heat conductivity [corresponding to an aluminum plate of 200×200×2 mm
(7.87x7.87x0.08 in.)].
Install the driver through the mounting holes using two screws (M4: not included).
Operating ambient temperature: 0 to +50 °C (+32 to +122 °F)
