4.4.3.1

Selecting the Installation Site

Selecting a site
The customer usually has a preferred installation site in mind.
Make sure that the customer's site meets the following guidelines:
To guarantee sufficient system ventilation, keep the area surrounding the housing clear as
●
follows: allow 30 cm clearance on the left (for board replacement), and 10 cm clearance on
the right, top and bottom of the housing.
Do not expose the systems to direct sources of heat (for example sunlight and heaters).
●
Do not expose the systems to extremely dusty environments.
●
Avoid contact with chemicals.
●
Take every precaution to prevent the formation of condensation on the system during op-
●
eration. Systems covered with condensation must be dried before being used.
Observe the environmental conditions specified in Section 2.11.
●
For U.S. Only:
Ensure that the installation site is in the immediate vicinity of an electrical outlet
●
Allow space for a main distribution frame or other additional equipment.
●
Install lightning and surge arrester equipment.
●
Avoid standard carpeting, as it tends to produce electrostatic charges.
●
Ensure that Siemens equipment is 40 in. (101.6 cm) from other electrical equipment. The
●
National Electrical Code (NEC) requires 36 in. (91.44 cm) of clearance in front of electrical
equipment and 40 in. (101.6 cm) of clearance from other electrical service equipment.
Ensure that the equipment room for the system provides adequate space for installation
●
and maintenance activities, including removing and replacing the cover). See Figure 4-94
for space requirements on the sides of the system. We recommend using a plywood back-
board at least 0.5 in. (127 mm) thick and measuring at least 4 ft. (122 cm) by 4 ft. (122 cm.).
