3.1.3

Selecting a mounting position

The device is suitable for installation in:
● Mounting cabinets
● Control cabinets
● Switchboards
● Consoles
In the following, all of these mounting options are referred to by the general term "cabinet".
The device is self-ventilated and approved for inclined mounting at angles up to +/-35° from
the vertical in stationary cabinets.
NOTICE
Damage due to overheating
Inclined installation reduces the convection by the device and therefore the maximum
permitted ambient temperature for operation.
If there is sufficient forced ventilation, the device can also be operated in the inclined
mounting position up to the maximum permitted ambient temperature for vertical
installation. The device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and warranty will
be rendered null and void.
The ambient temperature ranges listed in this section apply to the temperature inside the
cabinet.
