2-2 Installation Method
¬
Tightly fasten the drive in the upright position on a strong
structure using four bolts (M4) with the product logo facing the
front. Do not install the drive upside down, or horizontally.
-
Heat is generated while the drive is operating, so the open-
ings shown in Figure 2-2-1 are necessary for the passage of
cooling air. The generated heat is convected upward by the
built-in cooling fan, so do not install the drive below any other
device that is sensitive to heat.
®
The temperature of the heat sink increases to about 90 C
while the drive is operating. Therefore, the surface behind
where the product is located must be able to withstand this
temperature increase.
!
WARNING
Install the drive on a nonflammable material such as metal,
otherwise fire could occur.
¯
When installing this drive in a control panel, carefully consider the ventilation to pre-
vent the ambient temperature of the drive from exceeding the specified value. Never
install the drive in a closed box from which heat is not radiated fully.
