Installation location - Dependency of the temperature range
Note the dependency of the permitted temperature range of the installation location.
• Horizontal installation of the rack (DIN rail) means a vertical position of the modules.
• Vertical installation of the rack (DIN rail) means a horizontal position of the modules.
You will find the permitted temperature ranges in the section Technical specifications

Minimum clearances
Mount the TIM so that its upper and lower ventilation slits are not covered, allowing
adequate ventilation as protection from overheating.
Keep to the following minimum clearances for the circulation of air when the rack is
installed horizontally:
• Above the TIM: At least 33 mm
• Below the TIM: At least 25 mm

Installation on a DIN rail
Note
Protecting the modules from slipping on the DIN rail
If you install the modules in an area with mechanical load, use suitable clamping devices at
both ends of the device group to secure the modules on the DIN rail, e.g. Siemens and
retainer 8WA1808.
The end retainers prevent the modules separating under mechanical load.
