Mounting Orientation

The cooling fins on the back of the IPC must be vertical. However the unit can be mounted with
the front panel connectors oriented either up or down.
12
The DIN rail or panel the IPC is mounted on must have a safety ground connection to
protective earth. This ground wire must be at least #16 AWG (1.31mm
short as possible.
If using the ICRXIACCBPL to mount the Box IPC, add a ground wire from the M8 threaded hole
on the metal DIN Backplate (M8 screw included) to protective earth.
The frame ground connection on the power plug must be a 16 to 28 AWG (1.31to 0.08mm
wire with shortest possible length. It is recommended that these ground wires terminate in a
star wiring pattern at the same grounding point.
