2.4 Installation Procedure and Minimum Clearances
Installation Procedure
Incorrect installation may result in a drive malfunction or premature failure of the drive and or motor. Please
follow the guidelines in this manual when installing the servo drive and motor.
The ASDA-B servo drive should be mounted perpendicular to the wall or in the control panel. In order to
ensure the drive is well ventilated, ensure that the all ventilation holes are not obstructed and sufficient free
space is given to the servo drive. Do not install the drive in a horizontal position or malfunction and damage
will occur.
Drive Mounting
The ASDA-B Servo drives must be back mounted vertically on a dry and solid surface such as a NEMA
enclosure. A minimum spacing of two inches must be maintained above and below the drive for ventilation
and heat dissipation. Additional space may be necessary for wiring and cable connections. Also, as the drive
conducts heat away via the mounting, the mounting plane or surface should be conductor away and not
conduct heat into the drive from external sources
Motor Mounting
The ECMA Servo motors should be mounted firmly to a dry and solid mounting surface to ensure maximum
heat transfer for maximum power output and to provide a good ground.
For the dimensions and weights specifications of servo drive or motor, please refer to Chapter 11
“Specifications".
Minimum Clearances
Install a fan to increase ventilation to avoid ambient temperatures that exceed the specification. When
installing two or more drive adjacent to each other please follow the clearances as shown in the following

Wiring Notes
Please observe the following wiring notes while performing wiring and touching any electrical
connections on the servo drive or servo motor.
1. Ensure to check if the power supply and wiring of the "power" terminals (R, S, T, U, V, & W) is
correct.
2. Please use shielded twisted-pair cables for wiring to prevent voltage coupling and eliminate
electrical noise and interference.
3. As a residual hazardous voltage may remain inside the drive, please do not immediately touch
any of the "power" terminals (R, S, T, U, V, & W) and/or the cables connected to them after the
power has been turned off and the charge LED is lit. (Please refer to the Safety Precautions on
page iii).
4. The cables connected to R, S, T and U, V, W terminals should be placed in separate conduits
from the encoder or other signal cables. Separate them by at least 30cm (11.8inches).
5. If the encoder cable is too short, please use a twisted-shield signal wire with grounding
conductor. The wire length should be 20m (65.62ft.) or less. For lengths greater than 20m
(65.62ft.), the wire gauge should be doubled in order to lessen any signal attenuation.
6. As for motor cable selection, please use the 600V PTFE wire and the wire length should be less
than 30m (98.4ft.). If the wiring distance is longer than 30m (98.4ft.), please choose the
adequate wire size according to the voltage.
7. The shield of shielded twisted-pair cables should be connected to the SHIELD end (terminal
marked
) of the servo drive.
8. For the connectors and cables specifications, please refer to section 3.1.6 for details.
