Note
In a residential environment, this product can cause high-frequency interference that can
make radio interference suppression measures necessary.
Have the installation and commissioning with appropriate radio interference suppression
measures preformed by qualified personnel.
Maximum installation altitude
From an altitude of 2000 m, the max. ambient temperature is reduced by 7 °C for each
additional 1000 m (derating).
• The derating factor compensates for the decreasing cooling effect of air at higher
elevations due to lower density.
• Linear interpolation between elevations is permissible.
• Install the SIMATIC Drive Controller only in a vertical mounting position and maintain a
ventilation clearance of 80 mm above and below the SIMATIC Drive Controller.
• Make sure that the power supplies you use are also rated for altitudes > 2000 m.
• Observe the maximum installation altitude of the SINAMICS S120 drive components. Refer
to the SINAMICS documentation for details.
Protection of the device against environmental factors
Protect the device against the following environmental factors:
• Direct sunlight and heat sources
• Mechanical vibrations
• Dust
• Humidity
• Strong magnetic fields
Reduction of vibrations
If the SIMATIC Drive Controller is exposed to severe shock or vibration, take appropriate
measures to reduce the acceleration or amplitude.
We recommend installing the SIMATIC Drive Controller on damping materials (for example
rubber-bonded-to-metal mounting.)
