2.2 Mechanical Installation
This section outlines specifications, procedures, and the environment for proper mechanical installation of the drive.
u
Installation Environment
Install the drive in an environment matching the specifications below to help prolong the optimum performance life of the
drive.
Table 2.1 Installation Environment
Environment Conditions
Installation Area Indoors
Ambient Temperature
-10 °C to +40 °C (IP20/NEMA Type 1)
-10 °C to +50 °C (IP00/Open-Chassis)
Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.
When using the drive in an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure that the air
temperature inside the enclosure does not exceed the specified levels.
Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.
Humidity 95% RH or less and free of condensation
Storage Temperature -20 to +60 °C
Surrounding Area
Install the drive in an area free from:
• oil mist and dust
• metal shavings, oil, water, or other foreign materials
• radioactive materials
• combustible materials (e.g., wood)
• harmful gases and liquids
• excessive vibration
• chlorides
• direct sunlight
Altitude 1000 m or lower, up to 3000 m with derating. Refer to Drive Derating Data on page 377 for details.
Vibration
10 to 20 Hz at 9.8 m/s
2
, 20 to 55 Hz at 5.9 m/s

Orientation Install the drive vertically to maintain maximum cooling effects.
NOTICE: Avoid placing drive peripheral devices, transformers, or other electronics near the drive as the noise created can lead to erroneous
operation. If such devices must be used in close proximity to the drive, take proper steps to shield the drive from noise.
NOTICE: Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings and wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation. Failure to comply
could result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during installation. Remove the temporary cover before
drive start-up, as the cover will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.

Installation Orientation and Spacing
Install the drive upright as illustrated in Figure 2.1 to maintain proper cooling.
