3 Installation
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 +55 °C (+32 to +131 °F) (non-freezing)
• Operating ambient humidity: 85 % or less (non-condensing)
• Area free of explosive atmosphere or 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 vibrations 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 is designed so that heat is dissipated via air convection and conduction through the enclosure. Install the
driver to a flat metal plate [material: aluminum, 200×200×2 mm (7.87×7.87×0.08 in.) or equivalent] offering high heat
conductivity. When installing drivers, provide clearances of at least 25 mm (0.98 in.) in the horizontal and vertical
directions between the driver and enclosure or other equipment within the enclosure.
When installing the driver, use two screws (M4, not included) to secure the driver through the mounting holes.

* The drivers can be installed closely in the horizontal
direction when the following conditions are satisfied.
• Metal plate [material: aluminum, 350×350×2 mm
(13.78×13.78×0.08 in.) or equivalent]
• Ambient temperature: 0 to 40 °C (+32 to +104 °F)
Possible to install closely
• Install the driver inside an enclosure whose pollution degree is 2 or better environment, or whose
degree of protection is IP54 minimum.
• Do not install any equipment that generates a large amount of heat or noise near the driver.
• Do not install the driver underneath the host controller or other equipment vulnerable to heat.
• If the ambient temperature of the driver exceeds 55 °C (131 °F), reconsider the ventilation
condition such as providing forced cooling by using fans or creating spaces between the drivers.
• Be sure to install the driver vertically (in vertical position).
