4. Installation & Application Notes
- Mount vertically (top/bottom airflow) in a ventilated cabinet; clearances per Siemens manual
- Derate for high altitude, high ambient temp, or continuous overload
- Braking resistor sizing: use Siemens G120 sizing tool for dynamic braking
- Use shielded motor cable for EMC; bond shield at both ends
- Match to CU with matching firmware version; update if needed
- Technical data subject to change; always verify with latest official docs
