Installation; Installation Requirements - Pro-face GP4000 SERIES Installation Manual

1. Installation Requirements

• Decide on the thickness of the enclosure wall, based on the level of strength
required: 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) to 5 mm (0.2 in.).
• Even if panel thickness is within recommend range for "Panel Cut Dimensions", the
panel could warp, depending on panel's material, size, and installation location of
GP unit or other devices. To prevent panel warpage, the installation surface may
need to be strengthened.
• Check that the installation panel or cabinet's surface is flat, in good condition and
has no jagged edges.
• Be sure that the surrounding air temperature and the ambient humidity are within their
designated ranges. Surrounding air temperature:
0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F): GP-4200 Series, GP-4301TW, GP-4401WW, and GP-4501TW DC
models.
0 to 55 °C (32 to 131 °F): GP-4301T, GP-4303T, GP-4401T, GP-4501T/4503T DC models,
GP-4500 Series AC models, and GP-4600 Series.
ambient humidity: 10 to 90%RH; wet bulb temperature: maximum 39 °C (102 °F).
When installing the GP unit in a cabinet or enclosure, the surrounding air
temperature is the cabinet's or enclosure's internal temperature.
• Be sure that heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the GP unit to
exceed its standard operating temperature.
• When mounting the GP unit vertically, ensure that the right side of the unit faces
up. In other words, the power connector for DC model, power terminal block for
AC model, should be at the top.

• When installing the GP unit in a slanted position, the GP unit face should not incline
