2.1.2 Installation in control box
When installing the drive unit in a control box, the internal temperature of the
control box must not exceed the permissible value due to drive-unit generated
heat and peripheral-generated heat.
Placing a heat sink outside the control box can reduce the heat generated inside
the control box.

NOTICE
Leave the specified clearances between the drive unit and control
box walls or other equipment. Not doing so can cause a failure. In
addition, improper convection of air in the control box will reduce the
heat dissipation effect. Fully consider the equipment layout in the
control box and the use of a cooling fan for ventilation, for example.
