Mounting Clearance Distance
Install the drive with appropriate clearance distances on all sides to ensure proper
operation and allow maintenance of the drive.
Mounting Requirements
The base must be smooth, flat and level. If power cabling is entering from below,
and a cable trench system is used, refer to
Figure 3 . The base structure of the drive
cabinet may be constructed with #10 channel steel, approximately
100 x 48 x 5.3 mm (3.9 x 1.9 x 0.2 in.). Dimension pairs reflect the 1300 mm or
1500 mm deep cabinet configurations and the corresponding Drive Cable
Trench depth. See
Appendix on page 75 .

Embed the channel steel base profile in the base with its top surface flush with
ground level, or protruding slightly above ground level.
