[[File:Argon installation.png|thumb|A proper Argon installation orientation and spacing with optional [[Argon user guide/Mating connectors and accessories|heat sinks]] and an optional cooling fan. For high power application, [[Replacing Argon fuse|replacing also the internal fuse]] may be necessary.]]Argon drives should be installed vertically (J5 connector up) with at least 50 mm free air space between the device surfaces and possible cabinet walls to allow heat transfer along the heat sink side of the device.

Cooling may be further by mounting additional [[Argon user guide/Mating connectors and accessories|heat sinks]] to the bottom of the device and/or using a fan blowing air from bottom to up. If fan is used, it should have dust filter to prevent dust inside the drives.
 
 
Such additional cooling measures are typically necessary only when '''average''' motor current is higher than 4 Amperes [[peak value of sine]]. Most of [[Control modes|position control]] servo systems run cool enough without additional cooling as the load is highly varying and the average output power is low. In any case, it is safe to experiment without cooling as drive's over temperature protection will shut down the drive in case of overheating.

J5 Is a 26 pin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation-displacement_connector IDC connector] located on the side of Argon. The connector serves as general purpose I/O with [[setpoint signal]] inputs featuring: limit & home switch inputs, status indicator outputs, [[Analog setpoint|analog]], [[Pulse and direction|pulse and direction]], [[quadrature]] or [[PWM]] types of [[Setpoint signal|setpoint]] inputs and secondary [[feedback devices|feedback device]] input.

{{caution|Using HV DC bus sharing via VP and VN terminals or supplying external DC voltage to them, renders the [[safe torque off]] '''STO1''' input unusable because STO1 is based on by cutting the AC supply. In order to preserve STO1 functionality with DC bus sharing, the STO1 signal must be fed simultaneously to all DC bus sharing drives. If an external DC supply is used (no AC input to L & N), then STO1 will not operate.<br/><br/>STO1 will also be inoperable if DC voltage is supplied to L & N inputs instead of AC. With DC supply, STO1 ibput must be always powered as the internal relay may damage if STO1 used with DC supply. }}
