Mechanical Installation
This chapter provides information on mounting a PowerFlex 40 Standard 
Configured Drive.
Mounting Considerations
Environment
Before deciding on an installation site, verify that the PowerFlex Drive Packages 
are not installed in an area where the ambient atmosphere contains volatile or 
corrosive gas, vapors or dust. The drives are to be installed per the environmental 
rating they have been designed for.
Maximum Ambient Air Temperature
PowerFlex 40 Standard Configured Drives are designed to operate at -10° to 
40°C (14° to 104°F) surrounding air temperature. The design of the PowerFlex 
Standard Configured Drive supports indoor and outdoor applications that are 
not in direct sunlight.
Minimum Mounting Clearances
Be sure there is adequate clearance for air circulation around the drive. For best 
air movement, do not mount drives directly above each other. Note that no 
devices are to be mounted behind the drive. This area must be kept clear of all 
control and power wiring.
