6 Installation
This chapter explains the installation location and installation method of the driver.
6-1
Location for installation
The driver has been designed and manufactured to be incorporated in equipment. Install it in a well-ventilated
location that provides easy access for inspection.
The location must also satisfy the following conditions:
Inside an enclosure that is installed indoors (provide vent holes)
Operating ambient temperature 0 to +55 °C (+32 to +131 °F) (non-freezing)
Operating ambient humidity 85% or less (non-condensing)
Area that is free of explosive atmosphere or toxic gas (such as sulfuric gas) or liquid
Area not exposed to direct sun
Area free of excessive amount of dust, iron particles or the like
Area not subject to splashing water (rain, water droplets), oil (oil droplets) or other liquids
Area free of excessive salt
Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shocks
Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from welders, power machinery, etc.)
Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic fi elds or vacuum
1000 m (3300 ft.) or lower above sea level
6-2 Installation
method
The driver is designed so that heat is dissipated via air convection and
conduction through the enclosure. Install the driver on a fl at metal plate (*)
having excellent heat conductivity.
There must be a clearance of at least 25 mm (0.98 in.) in the horizontal and
vertical directions, between the driver and enclosure or other equipment
within the enclosure.
When installing the driver in an enclosure, use two screws (M4, not
supplied) to secure the driver through the mounting holes.

Unit: mm (in.)
Install the driver in an enclosure whose pollution degree is 2
or better environment, or whose degree of protection is IP54
minimum.
Do not install any equipment that generates a large amount
of heat or noise near the driver.
Do not install the driver underneath the controller or other
equipment vulnerable to heat.
If the ambient temperature of the driver exceeds 55 °C
(131 °F), improve the ventilation condition.
Be sure to install the driver vertically (vertical position).
