3.2.1 Mounting the AGD155 The heatsink on the back of the AGD155 includes a hole (at top) and a slot (at bottom) for mounting the unit. The AGD155 must be mounted vertically (book mounting), as shown in Figure 3. The AGD155 is mounted using 2 M4 screws. It is important to mount the product on metal panel for both grounding and secure connections.
If amplifiers are mounted on a backplane, the backplane temperature must not exceed the limit defined section Safe Operating Area (SOA). It is recommended to install a cooling fan at the bottom of the cabinet for best circulation. Figure 4. Mounting multiple amplifiers within cabinet AGD155 Product Manual Rev.2.2 Page 14...
3.3.1 Power Wiring AGD155 is designed to operate directly from 110 VAC to 240 VAC mains power, which is supplied to bus voltage, to motor, and to logic power. Logic power input (L1C, L2C) uses 1-phase 120 VAC to 240 VAC input.

A motor-enable request will create an error if PwrTemp is higher than 80°C. The following figure shows examples of safe operating cases for AGD155-xx-2A06. The SOA charts assume 90% duty cycle on PWM output continuously; that is, motors are moving at the maximum speed allowed by the bus voltage.
3.3.5 Grounding It is recommended to install the AGD155 on a metal plate for better power dissipation, reduced EMI, and grounding connection. Make sure the plate is not painted. The heatsink of the AGD155 is electrically conductive and serves as the protective earth (PE) ground of the product.
The enclosures and other external parts that may be touched by the user are in the safe domain. The AGD155 must be connected to protective earth (PE) and connected to the building’s ground. PE is protected with an earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB); hence it is safe to touch. Refer to Figure 7.
Plug or unplug the power connector only when power is off and after the bus LED has turned off (red LED visible at the side of the product). Plugging the power connector when power is on may cause power surges through connected devices and possibly damage them. AGD155 Product Manual Rev.2.2 Page 20...
Warning - Hot plugging is forbidden! Plug or unplug the power connector only when power is off! Plugging the power connector when power is on may cause power surges through connected devices and possibly damage them. AGD155 Product Manual Rev.2.2 Page 21...
