Guidelines for Installation
Observe the following for installing the motor.
1. Allow sufficient clearances in the area of the motor for it to stay
within its specified operating temperature range. Refer to
Receiving and Maintenance Information on page 3 for operating
range. Do not enclose the motor unless forced air is blown across
the motor for cooling. A fan blowing air across the motor will
improve its performance. Keep other heat producing devices
away from the motor.
2. Refer to Mounting Dimensions on page 10 to determine the
mounting dimensions of your motor.
3. Place the motor with connectors pointing downward.
4. Properly mount and align the motor.
5. Attach all power and encoder cables after the motor is mounted
and use a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids flowing away
from the connectors.
ATTENTION
Outer surfaces of motor can reach high
temperatures, 100° C (212° F) during motor
operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with
hot surfaces. Consider motor surface temperature
when selecting motor mating connections and
cables.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could
result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
