Installation and cabinet guidance

No cut-out is published for this driver: the frame is 32 mm square with four 2 mm fixing holes on 24.6 x 24.6 mm centres, so size the opening from the unit itself. The body is 10.5 mm deep at most behind the 2 mm flange (14.2 mm overall including the solder lugs), so leave room behind the panel for the lugs and the leads.

The IPX4 and IPX7 protection applies to the front of the driver only, and only when it is built into a sealed enclosure; the rear is open to the enclosure. Mount it on a flat panel with a continuous seal around the frame and protect the rear from water and dust; bonding the driver in and fitting a front cover or grille may be needed to complete the protection. Tighten the fixings evenly so the frame is not distorted, and run the leads so that water cannot track along them into the enclosure. Operating temperature range −25 to 70 °C.

Solder to the solder lugs, observe polarity and keep the leads clear of the moving parts. Use a suitable iron and keep the soldering time short so that heat is not conducted into the driver. Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load and keep the drive within the 2 W rating.
