Installing The Driver - Vexta aStep AS Series Operating Manual

Installing the driver

Orientation
The driver is designed so that heat is dissipated via air convection and conduction through the
enclosure.
When installing the driver in an enclosure, it must be placed in perpendicular (vertical)
orientation using a DIN rail or driver mounting brackets.
How to install the driver
Install the driver on a flat metal plate having excellent vibration resistance and heat
conductivity.
In the presence of a great amount of vibration, do not use a DIN rail. Screw down the driver
directly through the use of driver mounting brackets.
If a DIN rail is to be used, use a DIN rail mounting plate (sold separately).
