Installation and wiring
Information about the device's environment
• Observe the notes and regulations regarding the power supply and functional ground.

• The device is only permitted to be operated in closed rooms and not permitted to be exposed to direct
sunlight.

General installation instructions
• Inclined installation reduces the air convection through the device and thus the maximum permissible am-
bient temperature for operation. If there is sufficient external ventilation in an inclined mounting orientation,
the maximum permissible ambient temperature must be checked in each individual case. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the equipment and void the certifications and warranty for the device.
• When installing the device, the permissible mounting orientations must be observed –
entations" on page
• When installed in a closed housing, there must be sufficient volume for air circulation -
air circulation" on page
• When connecting installed or connected peripherals, follow the instructions in the peripheral device's doc-
umentation.
Transport and storage
When transporting at low temperatures or in the event of large temperature fluctuations, the collection of moisture
in or on the device is not permitted. Moisture can cause short circuits in electrical circuits and damage the device.
If a device is transported or stored without packaging, all environmental influences such as shocks, vibrations,
pressure and moisture have an unprotected effect on the device. Damaged packaging indicates that the device
has been severely affected by environmental influences and may have been damaged.
This can result in malfunctions of the device, machine or system.
Use of third-party products
If third-party devices or components are used, the relevant manufacturer's documentation must be observed. If lim-
itations or interactions by or with third-party products are possible, this must be taken into account in the application.
