Note the permissible installation positions

Increased heat generation
If the minimum distances are not observed, the power supply unit and the Embedded PC may overheat.
• Leave at least 30 mm clearance above and below the Embedded PC. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Maintain the permissible ambient temperature in the vicinity of the power supply unit and Embedded PC.
Note the following specifications for the control cabinet:
• Maintain the permissible ambient temperature in the vicinity of the power supply unit and Embedded
PC. Measure the temperature below the Embedded PC at a distance of 30 mm to the cooling fins, in
order to determine the ambient temperature correctly.
• Adhere to the minimum distances of 30 mm above and below the Embedded PCs.
• Additional electrical equipment affects the heat generation in the control cabinet. Select a suitable
control cabinet enclosure depending on the application, or ensure that excess heat is dissipated from
the control cabinet.
The power supply unit CX2100-0014 and the Embedded PC are mounted horizontally on the mounting rail
as standard. A vertical or horizontal mounting position is only possible if the Embedded PC is actively
cooled.

Horizontal installation position
Maintain the ambient temperatures. In addition, a minimum clearance of 30 mm above and below the cooling
fins of the Embedded PCs is required in order to ensure adequate ventilation. This ensures optimum air flow
through the cooling fins of the Embedded PC.

If there is a risk of vibrations or impact in the same direction as the mounting rail when the Embedded PC is
installed horizontally, the device must be secured with an additional bracket in order to prevent it slipping.
