Requirements for the mounting position

The device is designed for mounting in control cabinets, control panels or control desks. It can be
mounted horizontally or vertically. The following requirements must be fulfilled when selecting a suitable
mounting position:
The device should not be exposed to direct sunlight (when exposed to UV light, plastic parts of the

device can embrittle and the lifespan of the device is reduced).
If the device is to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, the device must not be subjected

to hazardous knocks.
The inclination angle for vertical mounting without forced ventilation must be max. ±45°.

The operating elements on the service side of the device and the cable connections are accessible

after the device has been mounted.
The ambient conditions stated must be observed.

See chapter 9.9 Environmental conditions,  78.
Sufficient ventilation (cooling) must be ensured by means of:

Clearance of at least 3 cm to the ventilation slots

Clearance of at least 15 cm from heat radiating components such as heavily loaded trans-

formers
The expected temperatures should be within the permissible range.

See chapter 9.9 Environmental conditions,  78.
Mounting surface characteristics:

Material thickness at the mounting cutout 2...5 mm

Flatness  0.5 mm

(this requirement must also be fulfilled when the device is mounted!)
Surface roughness Rz  120
