Installation & Maintenance Guide

Installation Requirements:

• Mount vertically on a rigid, non-combustible panel inside a clean, well-ventilated control enclosure.
• Leave at least 50 mm clearance on the left and right, and 100 mm above and below the unit for natural convection air circulation.
• Connect input 380–500V 3-phase mains lines to terminals L1, L2, L3 and motor supply leads to output terminals U, V, W.
• Utilize shielded cabling for motor connections and control signals to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Maintenance Tips:

• Periodically check and clean internal cooling fans and external heat sink cooling channels to prevent dust accumulation.
• Tighten power and control terminal screws regularly to avoid high-resistance loose connections caused by machinery vibration.
• Inspect ambient cabinet operating temperatures to ensure cooling fans maintain optimal operating limits.

Safety Instructions:

• Disconnect main AC supply and wait at least 15 minutes for internal DC bus capacitors to discharge completely before servicing.
• Verify that protective earthing (grounding) conductors are connected tightly before applying electrical power.
• Wiring, configuration, and maintenance work must strictly be performed by trained electrical engineers.
