Installation
1. Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the following
locations.
a. Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.
b. Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields and magnetic fields.
c. Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.
d. Locations close to power supplies including power lines.
Failure to observe this caution may result in damage to the product.
2. Keep any external shunt/brake resistor away from flammable materials. Read section 13 carefully
for more shunt/brake resistor installation details.
3. Never use this product in an environment subject to liquids, corrosive chemicals or gases; or
combustibles; or where foreign materials can fall onto or collect inside the drive. Failure to
observe this caution may result in electric shock or fire.
4. Do not place any objects on the product. Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to
the product.
5. Do not cover the drive or prevent air from escaping or entering through the vents. Failure to
observe this caution may cause internal elements to deteriorate resulting in malfunction or fire.
6. Provide the specified clearance between the drive and other devices. Provide sufficient space
around the drive for cooling by natural convection or provide cooling fans to prevent excessive
heat. See section 5 for details. Failure to observe this caution may result in fire or malfunction.

Wiring
1. Verify
ALL
wiring
BEFORE
applying power to the drive and motor. Motor may spin or oscillate
uncontrollably if improperly wired. Drive may be damaged or improper wiring may prevent drive
from operation.
2. J1 pin 5, PE, MUST always be connected to an appropriate external Protective Earth ground in
accordance with local electrical codes. Improper grounding may result in electric shock and
damage the drive.
3. Securely connect the power supply terminals and motor output terminals. Failure to observe this
caution may result in fire.
4. Do not bundle or run power and signal lines together in the same duct. Keep power and signal
lines separated.
5. Use twisted-pair shielded wires or multi-core twisted pair shielded wires for signal and encoder
feedback lines.
6. Use twisted-pair wires for CAN-H & CAN-L. See sections 5.4.8 & 5.4.9 for pinout information.
7. Always use the specified power supply voltage. An incorrect power supply may result in damage
to the drive.
