2.4 Installation Procedure and Minimum Clearances
Installation Procedure
Incorrect installation may result in a drive malfunction or premature failure of the drive and or motor. Please
follow the guidelines in this manual when installing the servo drive and motor.
The ASDA-B servo drive should be mounted perpendicular to the wall or in the control panel. In order to
ensure the drive is well ventilated, ensure that the all ventilation holes are not obstructed and sufficient free
space is given to the servo drive. Do not install the drive in a horizontal position or malfunction and damage
will occur.
Drive Mounting
The ASDA-B Servo drives must be back mounted vertically on a dry and solid surface such as a NEMA
enclosure. A minimum spacing of two inches must be maintained above and below the drive for ventilation
and heat dissipation. Additional space may be necessary for wiring and cable connections. Also, as the drive
conducts heat away via the mounting, the mounting plane or surface should be conductor away and not
conduct heat into the drive from external sources
Motor Mounting
The ECMA Servo motors should be mounted firmly to a dry and solid mounting surface to ensure maximum
heat transfer for maximum power output and to provide a good ground.
For the dimensions and weights specifications of servo drive or motor, please refer to Chapter 11
“Specifications".
Minimum Clearances
Install a fan to increase ventilation to avoid ambient temperatures that exceed the specification. When
installing two or more drive adjacent to each other please follow the clearances as shown in the following
diagram.
