Driver installation
Driver installation location
To prevent driver damage, install in a location with the following conditions.
• Indoors (The driver is designed and manufactured to be used as an internal component
within other equipment.)
Ambient temperature range 0°C~+40°C (+32°F~+104°F) (non-freezing).
Install a forced-air cooling fan if ambient temperatures exceed +40°C (+104°F).
• Ambient humidity below 85%(non-condensing)
• No explosive, combustible, on corrosive gases
• No direct sunlight
• No dust or conductive particles (i.e. metal chips or shavings, pins, or wire fragments
etc.)
• No water, oil, or other fluids
• Where the driver is able to dissipate heat easily
• No continuous vibration or sudden shocks
• No nearby radiation, magnetic field, or air vacuum environment
• If the driver is installed in a switch box or other enclosed area, and near a heat source,
be sure to establish ventilation holes. The heat generated by the driver will cause the
ambient temperature to rise which could consequently damage the driver.
• If the driver is installed near a source of vibration, and this vibration is transmitted to the
driver, attach a shock absorber to prevent driver damage.
• If the driver is installed near a source of noise interference (i.e. high frequency welding
machine, electromagnetic switch, etc.) install a noise filter, or connect it to a separate
power source to reduce the effect of the interference, otherwise the motor may not
operate correctly.
• Leave a space of at least 25mm (1in.). If using more than one driver, leave a space of at
least 20mm (0.8in.) between each driver. Driver heat generation will cause the ambient
temperature to rise, and if the permissible ambient operating temperature is exceeded,
driver damage may result.
How to install the driver
The driver is designed to cool naturally by convection.
Secure the driver to a metal plate made of steel, aluminium or other material having good
thermal conductivity.
The following hardware (not supplied) is needed to mount the driver.
• M3 Screws : 4
• M3 Spring washers : 4
• Insulation type spacers : 4
• M3 Nuts : 4
