Overview
This section describes the proper mounting and wiring procedure for the Baldor
Series DBSC 100 AC Servo Control. If problems arise after installation, please
refer to the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Location and Mounting
CAUTION: Avoid locating control immediately above or beside heat
generating equipment, or directly below water or steam
pipes.
CAUTION: Avoid locating control in the vicinity of corrosive
substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.
Select a mounting surface for the control that will allow the control to be
mounted in a vertical position (with connector X1 at the top) using the mounting
hole(s) provided. Mounting hole location is shown in Section 6 of this manual.
The area selected should allow air to freely circulate around the control. This is
very important to maintain proper heat dissipation. Provide at least six inches
of clearance top and bottom for maximum cooling efficiency.
Refer to the Section 6 Mounting Hole Location diagram and locate and drill the
mounting hole(s) and mount the control.
Altitude Derating
Control ratings apply to 3300 feet (1000 meters) altitude without derating
required. For installations at higher altitudes derate the continuous and peak
output currents of the control by 11% for each 3300 feet (1000 meters) above
3300 feet.
Temperature Derating
Control ratings apply from 5
°
C to 40
°
C. Maximum ambient temperature is 40
