Important User Information
Solid-State equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. “Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation
and Maintenance of Solid-State Controls” (Publication SGI-1.1) describes some
important differences between solid-state equipment and hard-wired
electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide
variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this
equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment
is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative
purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any
particular installation, Rockwell Automation cannot assume responsibility or
liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation with respect to use of
information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written
permission of Rockwell Automation is prohibited.
Throughout this manual we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations:
Attention statements help you to:
• identify a hazard
• avoid a hazard
• recognize the consequences
Important: Identifies information that is especially important for successful
application and understanding of the product.

Installation
!
ATTENTION: To guard against electrical shock, disconnect from
power source before installing or servicing.
!
ATTENTION: Do not touch drive surfaces. Temperatures are hot
enough to cause severe burns.
!
ATTENTION: After system installation, remove the debris label
from the unit. Failure to remove this label may result in overheating
or nuisance tripping.

Dimensions
Important: Bulletin 160 drives installed in user supplied enclosures are
mounted to allow the heatsink to extend outside the enclosure. Use
the information below in combination with the enclosure
manufacturer’s guidelines for sizing.
Clearances: There must be a minimum of 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) around
all sides of the drive module, 100 mm (4 in.) on the top and bottom
of the heatsink, and 50 mm (2 in.) on the sides of the heatsink.
