Mounting Position
The IDX drive may be mounted in any position provided that the stated environmental conditions (
14) are complied with.
Protection against ingress moisture
With the shaft end facing upward mounting position (

measures when preparing the system for long standstill periods. Thereby, you must remove residue mois-
ture around the drive’s radial shaft seal to prevent humidity from entering the casing.
