
Using the drive as a template, or the dimensions shown above, mark the locations required for drilling

Suitable cable glands to maintain the IP protection of the drive are required. Gland sizes should be selected based on the number
and size of the required connection cables. Drives are supplied with a plain, undrilled gland plate to allow the correct hole sizes to
be cut as required. Remove the gland plate from the drive prior to drilling.
