InsTallaTIon
The motor controller may be installed in any orientation. Usually, installation close to the motor
is best in order to keep power wiring to the motor short. The enclosure is weather resistant but not
fully waterproof, so it is best installed in a location with some protection from the elements. If it
may be in the direct path of water, splash guards are recommended.
The controller’s continuous power capabilities depend somewhat on the amount of airflow around
the case for convection cooling. If the install location has very little airflow, the controller may
benefit from added convection cooling via fans or ducting. (Or for highest sustained power, the
controller may be base-mounted to a fan-forced convection or water cooling block.)
Controller dimensions and mount locations
The motor controller comes with brackets for mounting with four 6mm or 1/4” bolts on a 142 x
260mm spacing. Spring washers under the heads of mounting bolts are recommended to prevent
the bolts from loosening over time due to vibration.
Alternatively the mounting brackets may be removed, and the four holes underneath the housing
used to fasten to a panel from beneath. The holes are M6 thread on a 70 x 260mm spacing.
Caution: Since these threaded holes penetrate the housing, ensure that bolts do
not extend more than 20mm into the case or they may damage components inside!
