20-95% (non-condensing)
Mounting Location
The DMC-3xx1x motion controller must be mounted on a flat surface using the 4 mounting holes
found on the metal base-plate. The grating found on the side of the metal must not be obstructed in
order provide proper air flow for adequate heat dissipation. The dimensions and the mounting hole
locations are found in Appendices A3.
Additional Mounting Consideration when using the DMC-3xx12
When operating a DMC-3xx12, special mounting considerations must be made if the total continuous
current output for the controller is greater than 5A. In this case, the controller base must be mounted to
an addition heat sink.
When the application requires that the DMC-30012 be mounted to a heat sink, the heat sink must be
sized such that the base of the DMC-30012 be kept at a temperature of 65
O
C or below. This works out
to a thermal resistance of 2
O
C/W at full continuous power. Full continuous power is defined as a
100% duty cycle at 10Amps continuous current with a 60VDC bus.
