If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of time, the heatsink can reach 
temperatures in excess of 70°C (158°F). Human contact with the heatsink should be 
prevented.
WARNING
In order to achieve IP54 rating (NEMA 12) for through-panel mounting, an IP54 insert must 
be installed (size 1 and 2). See section 10.7 on page 109. Derating applies when the IP54 
insert is installed. Additionally, the gasket provided should be installed between the drive 
and the backplate to ensure a good seal for the enclosure. If the heatsink mounted braking 
resistor is to be used with the drive through-panel mounted, refer to the 
Braking Resistor 
Installation Sheet
 supplied with the resistor prior to mounting the drive. For further 
information refer to the 
Unidrive SP User Guide
 on the CD Rom supplied with the drive.
NOTE
Ingress protective labels
The ingress protective labels (shown in Figure 3-3 above) should remain in place while the 
drive is mounted, and until all the electrical wires have been connected. The labels should 
be removed before first power up.
