• Protection: IEC 60721-3-3 class 3C3 coated PCBs
• Safety: 5 integrated safety functions

To use the drive, mount it vertically on a panel using the four provided fixing holes. Ensure proper ventilation within the cabinet, although the unit is designed to operate in high ambient temperatures. Connect the power supply and motor according to the wiring diagrams provided in the technical documentation. Configuration and parameterization are performed using the SoMove software, which allows for the setup of safety functions and operational modes to match specific motor requirements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your motor power requirements do not exceed 0.55 kW.
• Ensure your power supply matches the 1-phase 200-240 V AC specification.
• Check if additional accessories like braking resistors or line chokes are needed for your specific application.
• Confirm that the physical dimensions fit your existing control cabinet space.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the drive for dust accumulation and ensure that all electrical connections remain tight. Utilize the SoMove software for periodic diagnostic checks to optimize performance and energy efficiency. Always follow the local electrical safety regulations during installation and maintenance.
