7-2-3 Installing the unit
(1) Each unit is designated to be installed in a cabinet such as a power distribution panel. Avoid
installing the unit where it will be subject to direct sunlight, or near heating elements.
(2) Keep the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, vibration, atmosphere) in the cabinet
within the limits given in the "Specifications for each unit". Always use a sealed structure for the
cutting machine cabinet.
(3) Make sure that maintenance, inspections and replacements can be done easily. The space
required around each unit is indicated in the outline dimension drawings.
(4) Each unit generates a set amount of heat. Thus, install the other devices and parts with a space to
the top and bottom so that heat does not accumulate. Refer to the outline drawing for the
rectangular hole dimensions. In this case, place packing between the power distribution panel and
unit. Refer to the following installation example for installing the servo amplifier.

enter the discharge section.
CAUTION
1. Install a filter on the intake section when installing in a poor environment
(factory with high levels of oil mist, etc.).
2. When assembling the control panel, make sure that the cutting chips from
the drill, etc., do not enter the amplifier.
3. Make sure that oil, water and metal cutting chips do not enter the amplifier
from the clearances of the control panel or the ceiling fan.
4. When using the unit in a place containing toxic gas or high levels of dust,
protect the amplifier with air purging (feed clean air from outside to increase
the storage panel's inner pressure above the outer pressure and prevent
the entry of toxic gas and dust).
