Suitable Environment and Enclosure

Confirm that the site meets the environmental requirements. To prevent damage
prior to installation, store and transport the drive according to the environmental
requirements specified for storage and transportation. See "Ambient Conditions" on
page 240.
Confirm that the enclosure is appropriate, based on the site contamination level:
• IP 21 / UL type 1 enclosure. The site must be free of airborne dust, corrosive
gases or liquids, and conductive contaminants such as condensation, carbon
dust, and metallic particles.
• IP 54 / UL type 12 enclosure. This enclosure provides protection from airborne
dust and light sprays or splashing water from all directions.

Suitable Mounting Location

Confirm that the mounting location meets the following constraints:
• The drive must be mounted vertically on a smooth, solid surface, and in a suitable
environment as defined above.
• The minimum space requirements for the drive are the outside dimensions (see
"Outside Dimensions" on page 238), plus air flow space around the unit (see
"Cooling" on page 235).
• The distance between the motor and the drive is limited by the maximum motor
cable length. See either "Motor Connection Specifications" on page 225, or "Motor
Cable Requirements for CE & C-Tick Compliance" on page 226.
• The mounting site must support the drive's modest weight. See "Weight" on page
239.
