2.2
Mechanical Installation
This section outlines specifications, procedures, and environment for proper mechanical installation of the drive.
u
Installation Environment
To help prolong the optimum performance life of the drive, install the drive in the proper environment. The table below provides description of the
appropriate environment for the drive.
Table 2.1 Installation Environment

Conditions
Installation Area
Indoors
Ambient Temperature
-10°C to +40°C (IP20/NEMA Type 1)
-10°C to +50°C (IP20/Open-Chassis)
Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.
When using an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure that the air temperature inside the enclosure does not exceed the
specified levels.
Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.
Humidity
95% RH or less and free of condensation
Storage Temperature
-20°C to +60°C
Surrounding Area
Install the drive in an area free from:
• oil mist and dust
• metal shavings, oil, water or other foreign materials
• radioactive materials
• combustible materials (e.g., wood)
• harmful gases and liquids
• excessive vibration
• chlorides
• direct sunlight
Altitude
1000 m or lower
Vibration
10 to 20 Hz at 9.8 m/s

Orientation
Install the drive vertically to maintain maximum cooling effects.
NOTICE:
Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings or wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation and project construction. Failure to comply could result in
damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during installation. Remove the temporary cover before start-up, as the cover will reduce ventilation and
cause the drive to overheat.
u
Installation Orientation and Spacing
Install the drive upright as illustrated in
to maintain proper cooling.

To maintain sufficient space for airflow and wiring, refer to
. Install the heatsink against a closed surface to avoid diverting cooling air around
the heatsink.
