3 Installation
3.1 Assembly
The place of installation must be selected so that clean and dry cooling air is available for cooling
the unit. The units are intended for indoor operation. Large amounts of dust and high concentra-
tions of chemical pollutants must be avoided.
Cooling of the unit must be guaranteed, especially when installing in housings and cabinets. As the
unit operates with surface cooling, temperatures of up to 85 °C can occur. Perfect functioning is only
guaranteed if the supply voltage lies within the defined tolerance ranges.
Wiring work may only be carried out on terminal strips and connections if the units are voltage-free.
Please also note the additional instructions on installation in Chapter 9 "EMC".
Risk of damage
Incorrect assembly or assembly with the wrong fixing materials can cause damage to the Motion
Controller.
Observe the following assembly instructions.
Specialised staff
Only trained specialised staff and instructed persons with knowledge in the field of automation
technology and standards and regulations such as EMC Directive, Low Voltage Directive, Machinery
Directive, VDE Regulations (such as DIN VDE 0100, DIN VDE 0113/ EN 0204, DIN VDE 0160/EN 50178),
Accident Prevention Regulations may install and commission the units. This description must be
carefully read and heeded prior to commissioning.
Off load
The Motion Controller must be disconnected from the power supply for all types of assembly and
connection work.
Surface
Motion Controllers may be screwed onto flat, hard surfaces only.
Screw-type terminal strips
The maximum tightening torque of the screw-type terminal strips must be noted and observed. See
Chapter 8 "Technical Data".
CAUTION!
