5. Installation, Operation and Maintenance Guidelines
- For wall‑mounted installation, ensure good cabinet ventilation and sufficient heat‑dissipation clearance to avoid high‑temperature protection or power derating caused by accumulated heat in enclosed spaces.
- Strictly comply with the 3‑phase rated supply voltage; avoid long‑term over‑voltage or under‑voltage operation to extend the service life of power modules.
- Use shielded cables for motor power wiring and encoder wiring, and implement single‑point earthing to eliminate running jitter and signal anomalies induced by electromagnetic interference.
- During initial commissioning, optimize gain, acceleration‑deceleration and current‑limit parameters step‑by‑step to match motor characteristics and load conditions and prevent alarms triggered by over‑aggressive settings.
- Regularly remove dust from cooling air ducts, check tightness of terminal connections, and perform periodic equipment‑health diagnosis using the commissioning software to implement predictive maintenance.
