PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Environmental Requirements
Risk of damage to drive
installation, or environment.
• Handle with care to prevent damage to the plastic components.
• Do not mount drive on equipment with excessive vibration.
• Install in a location where temperature is within the range of product rating.
• Mount drive vertically (top up) for proper heat dissipation.
• Do not mount drive in direct sunlight or near other heat sources.
• Do not install in corrosive environments.
• Installation of non-approved screening may damage the drive and/or reduce output.
The drive is intended for operation in ambient temperatures from -13 °F to 122 °F
(-25 °C to 50 °C). Use the following recommendations when selecting a location to mount the drive:
• The unit should be mounted on a structure such as a wall or
post capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
• The drive electronics are air-cooled. Allow at least 6 inches
(15.24 cm) of clearance on each side and 18 inches (45.7 cm)
below the unit for air flow.
• The mounting location should have access to 230 VAC electrical
supply and to the motor wiring. To avoid possible interference
with other appliances, refer to

Special Considerations for Outdoor Use

The drive is suitable for outdoor use with a NEMA 3R rating; how-
ever, the following considerations should be made when installing
the controller outdoors:
• The unit must be mounted vertically with the wiring end ori-
ented downward, and the cover must be properly secured (also
applies to indoor installations).
• Mount the drive on a surface or back plate no smaller than the
outer dimensions of the enclosure.
• NEMA 3R enclosures are capable of withstanding downward-
directed rain only. Protect from hose-directed or sprayed water
as well as blowing rain. Failure to do so may result in controller failure.
• Install away from direct sunlight or locations subject to extreme temperatures or humidity.
• Use appropriate screening for the air inlet and outlet when installed in areas where insect or small ani-
mal intrusion is an issue. Refer to
• Screens should be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure proper airflow.
