5.8 Driver installation
Direction of installation
The driver is designed on the basis of heat radiation by air convection and heat
conduction to the housing.
When installing the driver in the housing, use four installation holes on the driver
and install it in the vertical or horizontal direction.
Method of installation
Install the driver on a flat metallic plate having an excellent resistance to vibration
and heat conduction.
Using the driver installation hole or notch, lock the driver with two bolts (M3: not
provided) so that there is no gap with the metallic plate.
There must be a clearance of at least 25 mm (1 in.) and 50 mm (2 in.) in the
horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, between the driver and enclosure or
other equipment.
When two or more drivers are to be installed in parallel, separate them by 20 mm
(0.8 in.) or more in the horizontal direction and by 50 mm (2 in.) or more in the
vertical direction as illustrated.

Note
• Do not place any equipment generating much heat or noise around the
driver.
• If temperature around the driver is higher than 50 °C (122 °F), recheck the
ventilation conditions and use a fan to provide forced cooling of the driver.
