This chapter explains the installation location and installation method of the driver.
3-1 Installation location
The driver is designed and manufactured to be incorporated in equipment. Install it in a well-ventilated location that
provides easy access for inspection. The location must also satisfy the following conditions:
• Inside an enclosure that is installed indoors (provide vent holes)
• Operating ambient temperature: 0 to +50 °C (+32 to 122 °F) (non-freezing)
• Operating ambient humidity: 85 % or less (non-condensing)
• Area free of explosive atmosphere, toxic gas (such as sulfuric gas), or liquid
• Area not exposed to direct sun
• Area free of excessive amount of dust, iron particles or the like
• Area not subject to splashing water (rain, water droplets), oil (oil droplets) or other liquids
• Area free of excessive salt
• Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shocks
• Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from welders, power machinery, etc.)
• Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic fields, or vacuum
• Up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft.) above sea level
3-2 Installation method
The driver can be installed in any direction.
Install the driver onto a flat metal plate offering high heat conductivity (material: aluminum, 150×150×2 mm
(5.91×5.91×0.08 in.) or equivalent).
When installing the driver, use the mounting holes and the cutouts for mounting to secure on the metal plate with
two screws (M3: not included).

Screws (M3)
• Install the driver in an enclosure.
• Do not install any equipment that generates a large amount of heat or noise near the driver.
• Do not install the driver underneath a host controller or other equipment sensitive to heat.
• If the ambient temperature of the driver exceeds 50 °C (122 °F), reconsider the ventilation
conditions such as providing forced cooling by using fans.
