Humidity
Keep the relative humidity below 95%, non-condensing.
Liquids
Do not allow liquids or fluids to come into contact with the TQ10
Drive or its cables.
Airborne Contaminants
Particulate contaminants, especially electrically conductive material
such as metal shavings or grinding dust, can damage the TQ10 drive and motor. Do not allow
contaminants to come into contact with the drive or motor.
Mounting the Drive to a Heat Sinking Surface
Move profiles and loads affect the amount of heat dissipated by the TQ10 Drive. If yours
is a low power application with moderate ambient temperature, the drive may not need a
large heatsink. The mounting surface may be adequate as a heatsink, provided it has
sufficient mass and surface area.
The mounting plate at the rear of the drive is a
heatplate
—it is a thermal pathway through
which the drive can dissipate its excess heat. Mount the drive to a suitable heat sinking
surface. A thermally conductive strip is provided with the drive. When you mount the
drive, install the strip between the drive’s heatplate and the mounting surface, as the next
drawing shows. Do not fold or wrinkle the strip.

Mounting with Thermally Conductive Strip
While the drive is operating, ensure that the temperature of the mounting surface is no
higher than 45
°
C (113
°
F), and that the temperature of the ambient air is no higher than
50
°
C (122
°
F).
Do not mount equipment that produces substantial heat below the drive. Avoid mounting
heat sensitive equipment directly above the drive.
