Warning!
• The SimpleServo must be mounted vertically for safe operation at the maximum current rating.
• Printed circuit board components are sensitive to electrostatic fields. Avoid contact with the printed
circuit board directly. Hold the SimpleServo by the case only.
• Protect the control from dirt, filings, airborne particles, moisture, and accidental contact. Provide
sufficient room for access to the terminal block.
• Mount the control away from other heat sources. Operate within the specified ambient operating
temperature range. Additional cooling with an external fan may be recommended in certain
applications.
• Avoid excessive vibration to prevent intermittent connections.
• Do not disconnect any of the motor leads from the SimpleServo unless power is removed or the
control is disabled. Opening any one motor lead may cause failure.
• The DIN-rail mounting tab is designed to bear only the weight of the SimpleServo and heat sink.
Make sure enough slack exists in the wire routing to ensure that the cables do not tug or pull
downward against the DIN-rail mounting tab.

OUNTING
Note
It may be necessary to add shock-absorbing "bumpers" to the back of the SS500.
Mount the SimpleServo vertically in the panel as shown in Figure 5.
1. Ensure that a 30 mm (1.2 inch) DIN rail is installed horizontally in the rear of the panel prior to
mounting the SS500.
2. Ensure that the upper mounting tab on the back of the SS500 is in the UP position.
3. Hook the SS500'S lower mounting tab under the DIN rail as shown in Figure 4a. The tab fit should
be snug.
4. Rotate the SS500 upward, flush against the DIN rail, ensuring that the lower mounting tab remains
engaged by the DIN rail.
5. Once the SS500 is flush against the DIN rail, push down on the mounting tab atop the drive (Figure
4b). The mounting tab will latch onto the top of the DIN rail.
