2. Installation
Driver
Install the driver properly to avoid a breakdown or an accident.
Installation Place
1) Install the driver in a control panel enclosed in noncombustible material and placed indoor
where the product is not subjected to rain or direct sunlight. The products are not waterproof.
2) Where the products are not subjected to corrosive atmospheres such as hydrogen
sulfide, sulfurous acid, chlorine, ammonia, sulfur, chloric gas, sulfuric gas, acid, al-
kaline and salt and so on, and are free from splash of inflammable gas.
3) Where the motor is free from grinding oil, oil mist, iron powder or chips.
4) Well-ventilated and low humidity and dust-free place.
5) Vibration-free place.
6) Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol, acidic cleaner and alkaline cleaner because
they can discolor or damage the exterior case.
Environmental Conditions
Item Conditions
* 1 Extreme tempera-
tures are permissible
only for short pe-
riod such as during
transportation.
* 2 Air containing water
vapor will become
saturated with water
vapor as the temper-
ature falls, causing
dew.
Ambient temperature 0 ˚C to 50 ˚C (free from freezing)
Ambient humidity 20 % to 85 % RH (free from condensation)

How to Install
1) Rack-mount type. Install in vertical position, and reserve enough space around the
servo driver for ventilation.
2) Base mount (rear mount) is standard for A/B/C/D-frame driver.
3) To change the mounting surface of A/B/C/D-frame driver, use the optional mounting fixture.
For choosing the correct optional mounting fixture, refer to the Operating Instructions (Overall).
4) For the dimensions and mass of the product, which are necessary design data of
the mounting section, refer to the dimensional outline drawing on the Operating In-
structions (Overall) or the Delivery Specification.
5) In consideration of strength of the screws and the material of the mounting base,
select appropriate fastening torque for the product mounting screws, so that the
screws will not be loosened or damaged.
Example) To tighten a steel screw into a steel base, A to F-frame: M5 2.7 to 3.3 N·m

Mounting Direction and Spacing
• Reserve enough sur-
rounding space for
effective cooling.
• Install fans to provide
uniform distribution
of temperature in the
control panel.
• D/E/F frame is pro-
vided with a cooling
fan at the bottom.
• Observe the environ-
mental conditions of
the control panel described in the previous page.

Note
It is recommended to use the conductive paint when you make your own
mounting fixture, or repaint after peeling off the paint on the machine for
installing the products, in order to make noise countermeasure.
Caution on Installation
• We have been making the best effort to ensure the highest quality, however, applica-
tion of exceptionally large external noise disturbance and static electricity, or failure
in input power, wiring and components may result in unexpected action. It is highly
recommended that you make a fail-safe design and secure the safety in the opera-
tive range.
• If stranded wires are used as the cable, bunch the conductors of the cable using a
rod terminals or a round terminals.
If stranded wires are used as they are, unexpected accidents such as an electric
shock and short circuit or injury may result. (Refer to P.B19. “Wiring method to con-
nector”.)
• There might be a chance of smoke generation due to the failure of these products.
Pay an extra attention when you apply these products in a clean room environment.
• Be sure to install a no-fuse breaker in the power supply. In addition, be sure to
ground the grounding terminal or ground wire provided.
If the product is grounded insufficiently, not only the driver may not deliver its perfor-
mance sufficiently, but also safety hazards such as a malfunction due to a electrifi-
cation or a disturbance may be caused.
• If electric wires are bound and run through metal duct, they cannot carry the rated
current due to temperature rise. If they are forced to carry the rated current, they
may burn. When determining size of the wire, check the current decreasing coeffi-
cient by referring to the Operating Instructions (Overall).
