Mount the MotiFlex e100 vertically on its rear side, the side opposite the front panel.M5 bolts or screws should be used to mount the MotiFlex e100. Detailed dimensions are shownin section 3.2.1.Note: The 48 A and 65 A MotiFlex e100 have a recess at the rear of the product which isfilled with a block of packaging foam. Remove this foam before mounting the drive.For effective cooling, the MotiFlex e100 must be mounted upright on a smooth vertical metalsurface. The MotiFlex e100 is designed to operate in an ambient temperature of 0 °C to 45 °C(32 °F to 113 °F). Output current must be derated between 45 °C (113 °F) and the absolutemaximum ambient temperature of 55 °C (131 °F). All models incorporate cooling fans and aredesigned to operate without any additional cooling methods.Temperature derating characteristics are shown in sections 8.3.5 to 8.3.14.3.2.4.1 Mounting multiple drives for DC bus sharingThe MotiFlex e100 is designed to be mounted in close contact with other MotiFlex e100s, to allowthe optional DC busbar kits (Baldor parts OPT-MF-DC-A, -B, -C or -D) to be connected acrossthe top of the drives. Each busbar kit contains two busbars and the necessary screws. Whenmounting drives for DC bus sharing it is essential that they are accurately positioned in contactwith the neighboring drive, otherwise the busbars will not fit.Mount the rightmost drive first, but do not fully tighten the top left screw. Take the next drive andhold it against the left side of the first drive. Slide it downwards until the alignment tab (see Figure4) on the side of the mounting flange fits behind the matching cutout on the first drive’s mountingflange. Tighten the first drive’s top left screw. Holding the second drive in place, mark its mountingholes. Remove the second drive, finish the mounting holes and then remount the drive. Use thesame procedure to mount further drives to the left of the second drive.Alignment tab1. Mount rightmostdrive first, leavingtop left screwslightly loose.2.
