Chapter 6 Installation
6.1.6 Installation Position
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail.
Installation Position of the RSTi-EP Station on the DIN Rail (Horizontal Installation)
Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible. In this case however, the heat
dissipation is reduced such that the derating values change (refer to the section, Current Demand
and Power Supply).
In the case of vertical mounting, the field-bus network adapter must always be arranged as the first
module at the bottom and secured with a reinforced end bracket for vertical mounting.
6.1.7 Installation Distances
Note: Depending on how the station shielding is implemented, the specified distances may have to
be larger than those given below.
Note: Ensure compliance with the minimum permissible cable bending radius.
In order to carry out the installation and further maintenance work and to ensure sufficient
ventilation, the RSTi-EP station must be installed while observing the following minimum distances.
Earth terminals already installed can be ignored when calculating the distance.
