2.9 Environmental specifications
2.9.1 Ambient temperature
Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive.
Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 75°C (167°F) within the operating ambient conditions. Rec-
ommended measurement locations are shown in Figure 6 on page 25.
Above 1,000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly to 112°F (44°C) at 10,000 feet
(3,048 meters).
