The Servocontroller is cooled adequately by its heat sink and a metal mounting plate is not
required.
Minimum mounting distances:
A = 150 mm
B = 0 mm
Exceptions:
B =
20 mm
with version AH1 (I/O Module 1)
B =
20 mm
with Servocontrollers of different
power
i.e. 1 x MC6408, 1 x MC6412
B =
20 mm
with other equipment. Do
observe minimum mounting
distance of the other equipment if
greater!

Mounting instructions
Note:
These instructions are applicable to the Servocontroller with heat sink and complete enclosure
(Standard version).
General:
The location for installation must be free from conducting or corrosive materials and free from
humidity. Servocontrollers are typically housed in cabinets with external air throughflow. They
are attached to a mounting board with four M5 screws.
It is essential that the minimum separaration distances above and below the unit are observed
to avoid overheating. The ventilation slots on the top surface must not be covered or closed off
under any circumstances.
Warning:
Take care to ensure that no foreign bodies, such as metal swarf or screws, drop into the equipment,
as it may be damaged beyond repair.
Equipment installation spacing:
The enclosure dimensions have been designed to allow for power losses in the form of heat
dissipation
(see power table). To avoid overheating in the enclosure it is important to adhere
strictly to the specified minimum installation separation distances. This will ensure long term
reliability. There is no restriction however on mounting any number of units directly adjacent to
each other with no separation. (Except when using I/O Module 1 AH1).
