Hardware installation

Note
With an ambient temperature above 55 °C at the place of installation it is very likely that the
temperatures of connecting cables will increase if the cables are installed in an unfavourable
position. In such cases, measure the temperature to ensure that the service temperature of
the cables is not exceeded or use cables sustaining high temperatures of at least 90 °C.
3.1.1

Mounting and dismounting

Note
Make sure the Modbus Gateway is mounted in such a way that the power supply can be easily
disconnected.
Note
Depending on the installation position, the maximum ambient operating temperature may
differ. See Section
