Note the permissible installation positions

Increased heat generation
The Embedded PC may overheat if the installation position is incorrect or the minimum distances
are not adhered to.
Ensure adequate ventilation. A horizontal installation position is ideal. Leave at least 30 mm clear-
ance above and below the Embedded PC.
Note the following specifications for the control cabinet:
• Keep to the prescribed ambient temperature. 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.
Prescribed installation position for temperatures up to 60 °C
Install the Embedded PC horizontally in the control cabinet on a mounting rail, in order to ensure optimum
heat dissipation.
Ventilation openings are located at the top and bottom of the housing. This ensures an optimum airflow
through the Embedded PC in vertical direction. In addition, a minimum clearance of 30 mm above and below
the Embedded PCs is required, in order to ensure adequate ventilation.
