SGMP-08A3TE12 Yaskawa Controller Module Use Electrostatic Discharge

Observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling the drive. Failure to comply could result in ESD damage to the drive circuitry. It may be difficult to perform maintenance on the cooling fans of drives installed in a vertical row inside an enclosure. Ensure adequate spacing at the top of the drive to perform cooling fan replacement when required. Operating the motor in the low-speed range diminishes the cooling effects, increases motor temperature, and may lead to motor damage by overheating. Reduce the motor torque in the low-speed range whenever using a standard blower cooled motor. If 100% torque is required continuously at low speed, consider using a special drive or vector motor. Select a motor that is compatible with the required load torque and operating speed range. Do not operate motors above the maximum rated RPM. Failure to comply may lead to bearing or other mechanical motor failures. The speed range for continuous operation differs according to the lubrication method and motor manufacturer. If the motor is to be operated at a speed higher than the rated speed, consult with the manufacturer. Continuously operating an oil-lubricated motor in the low-speed range may result in burning.

Environment Conditions
Installation Area Indoors
Ambient Temperature
-10 °C to +50 °C (IP20/Open-Chassis)
Drive reliability improves in environments without wide temperature fluctuations.
When using an enclosure panel, install a cooling fan or air conditioner in the area to ensure that the air temperature inside
the enclosure does not exceed the specified levels.
Do not allow ice to develop on the drive.
Humidity 95% RH or less and free of condensation
Storage Temperature -20 °C to +60 °C
Surrounding Area
Install the drive in an area free from:
• oil mist and dust
• metal shavings, oil, water or other foreign materials
• radioactive materials
• combustible materials (e.g., wood)
• harmful gases and liquids
• excessive vibration
• chlorides
• direct sunlight
Altitude Up to 1000 meters without derating; up to 3000 meters with output current, ambient temperature, and voltage derating.
Refer to Altitude Derating on page 186 for details.
Vibration 10 to 20 Hz at 9.8 m/s2
20 to 55 Hz at 5.9 m/s2
Orientation Install the drive vertically to maintain maximum cooling effects.

Prevent foreign matter such as metal shavings or wire clippings from falling into the drive during installation and project construction. Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive. Place a temporary cover over the top of the drive during installation. Remove the temporary cover before startup, as the cover will reduce ventilation and cause the drive to overheat.
