2.4 Installation Procedure and Minimum Clearances
Installation Procedure
Incorrect installation may result in a drive malfunction or premature failure of the drive and or
motor. Please follow the guidelines in this manual when installing the servo drive and motor.
The ASDA-B2 servo drives should be mounted perpendicular to the wall or in the control panel.
In order to ensure the drive is well ventilated, ensure that the all ventilation holes are not
obstructed and sufficient free space is given to the servo drive. Do not install the drive in a
horizontal position or malfunction and damage will occur.
Drive Mounting
The ASDA-B2 servo drives must be back mounted vertically on a dry and solid surface such as
a NEMA enclosure. A minimum spacing of two inches must be maintained above and below
the drive for ventilation and heat dissipation. Additional space may be necessary for wiring
and cable connections. Also, as the drive conducts heat away via the mounting, the mounting
plane or surface should not conduct heat into the drive from external sources
Motor Mounting
The ECMA servo motors should be mounted firmly to a dry and solid mounting surface to
ensure maximum heat transfer for maximum power output and to provide a good ground.
For the dimensions and weights specifications of servo drive or motor, please refer to Chapter
11 “Specifications".
Minimum Clearances
Install a fan to increase ventilation to avoid ambient temperatures that exceed the
specification. When installing two or more drives adjacent to each other please follow the
clearances as shown in the following diagram.
