or vacuum
• Altitude Up to 1000 m (3300 ft.) above sea level
Note If the ambient temperature of the speed controller exceeds the upper limit of the operating
ambient temperature, revise the ventilation condition or forcibly cool the area around the
speed controller using a fan in order to keep within the operating ambient temperature.
4.2 Installation method
Use a DIN rail 35 mm (1.38 in.) wide to mount the speed controller.
The speed controller is designed so that heat is dissipated via air convection. Provide spaces so that the
speed controller can be ventilated well through its top and bottom vent holes.
Push down the speed controller's DIN lever until it locks. Hang the hook at the rear to the DIN rail, and
push in the speed controller. After installation, x the both sides of the speed controller with the end
plate.

4.4 Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC Directive
 EMC Directives
The speed controller is designed and manufactured as a component to be installed within another device.
The EMC Directives require that your mechanical equipment in which the speed controller is installed
satisfy the applicable requirements. The installation/wiring methods of the speed controller explained
here represent the basic methods that are eective in helping your mechanical equipment conform to the
EMC Directives. The nal level of conformance of your mechanical equipment to the EMC Directives
will vary depending on the control system equipment used with the speed controller, conguration of
electrical parts, wiring, layout, hazard level, and the like. Therefore, you must conduct the EMC tests on
your mechanical equipment to conrm compliance.
 Applicable Standards
EMI EN 55011 Group 1 Class A
EN 61000-6-4
EMS EN 61000-6-2
Caution: This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments nor for use on a low-voltage
public network supplied in residential premises, and it may not provide adequate protection to
radio reception interference in such environments.
Eective measures must be taken against the EMI that the speed controller may give to adjacent
control-system equipment, as well as the EMS of the speed controller itself, in order to prevent a serious
functional impediment in the machinery. The use of the following installation and wiring methods will
enable the speed controller to be compliant with the EMC Directive.

Installation
 Connecting mains lter for power supply line
• Connect a mains lter in the AC power supply input to prevent the noise generated in the speed
controller from propagating externally through the power supply line. For a mains lter, use MC1210
(TDK-Lambda Corporation) or equivalent product.
• Install the mains lter as close to the speed controller as possible. Use cable clamps and other means
to secure the input cables and output cables rmly to the surface of the enclosure. Connect the ground
terminal of the mains lter to the grounding point, using as thick and short a wire as possible.
• Do not place the input cable parallel with the output cable. Parallel placement will reduce mains lter
eectiveness if the enclosure's internal noise is directly coupled to the power supply cable by means of
stray capacitance.
 Connecting motor cable
When the motor cable is extended, use a cable of AWG18 (0.75 mm2) or more with a length of 10 m
(32.8 ft.) or less. When extending the rate generator lead wires, use a shielded cable.
 Ferrite core
Install a ferrite core in the power line and motor cable line to eliminate external electrical noise.
Use a ferrite core of 7427122 (Würth Elektronik GmbH & Co. KG), ZCAT3035-1330 (TDK
Corporation) or equivalent.
Install the ferrite core as close to the speed controller as possible.
 Wiring the control cable
Use a braided shielded cable of AWG24 (0.2 mm2) or more
for control cable, and keep the wiring distance as short as
possible [less than 2 m (6.6 ft.)].
Recommended strip length for braided
shielded cable
4 mm (0.16 in.) or more
Wire
Insulation Braided shield
Sheath
To ground a shielded cable, use a metal that will maintain
contact with the entire circumference of the cable. Attach a
cable clamp as close to the end of the cable as possible, and
connect it as shown in the gure.
Cable clamp
Shielded cable
 Notes about installation and wiring
• Connect the motor, speed controller and other peripheral control equipment directly to the grounding
point so as to prevent a potential dierence from developing between grounds.
• When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use mains lters and CR
circuits to suppress surges generated by them.
• Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
• Wire the power cables away from the control cables by providing a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94
in.) between them. If they have to cross, cross them at a right angle. Place the input cable and output
cable of a mains lter separately from each other.
