5.1 Installation
Types of Installation
The media converters of the SCALANCE X-100 series can be mounted in different ways:
• Installation on a 35 mm DIN rail
• Installation on a SIMATIC S7-300 DIN rail
• Wall mounting
Note
When installing and operating the device, keep to the installation instructions and safety-
related notices as described here and in the SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet Twisted Pair
and Fiber Optic Networks /2/ manual.
Warning
If the cable or conduit entry point exceeds 70°C or the branching point of conductors
exceeds 80°C special precautions must be taken. If the equipment is operated in an air
ambient of 50°C - 60 °C, only use cables with admitted maximum operating temperature of
at least 80°C.
Warning
Provisions shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by transient
disturbances of more than 40%. This criteria is fulfilled, if supplies are derived from SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage), only.
