4.2.1 Mounting the device
Control cabinet The control cabinet must have a sufficient size so that the devices and
components can be permanently installed and wired in compliance with
the EMC requirements.
Sufficient ventilation of the control cabinet must be provided to remove
the heat generated by all devices and components operated in the con-
trol cabinet.
Mounting distances, ventilation When selecting the position of the device in the control cabinet, note the
following:
• Mount the device in a vertical position (±10°). This is required for
cooling the device.
• Adhere to the minimum installation distances for required cooling.
Avoid heat accumulations.
• Do not mount the device close to heat sources.
• Do not mount the device on flammable materials.
• The heated airflow from other devices and components must not
heat up the air used for cooling the device.
• If the thermal limits are exceeded during operation, the drive
switches off (overtemperature).
@ WARNING
HOT SURFACES
The heat sink at the product may heat up to over 100°C (212°F) during
operation.
• Avoid contact with the hot heat sink.
• Do not allow flammable or heat-sensitive parts in the immediate
vicinity.
• Consider the measures for heat dissipation described.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
