4.3 Operation environment

1. Operation temperature range is -4 to +122° Fahrenheit (-20 to 50° Celsius).

2. Protection degree against ingress of water and particles is IP40.

3. Max non-condensing humidity is 85%.

4.4 Mechanical installation

4.4.1 General installation safety notes

• Never work on the linear system with the power switched on.

• Keep hands clear while the unit is energized.

• Pinch points are present between the end support/motor mount and carriage.

• Failure modes of the linear system should be considered to ensure it does not create harm.

4.4.2 Basic installation considerations

1. Only mount the linear system using the designated mounting holes on the guide rail (CLSH and

CLSV) or mounting blocks (CLSR). Check the part number on the product label (section 4.1) and

cross reference with the ordering key (section 6.2) to determine which mounting style is used in your

assembly.

2. Make sure that the linear system mounting position allows access to the lead wires so that it can be

properly connected and powered on.

3. Make sure that there is enough clearance surrounding the carriage to allow it to freely move.

4.4.3 Mounting surface

1. The mounting surface should be at and free from any dust, dirt or debris.

2. The surface must be straight so that it does not bend, twist or skew the unit (a).
