Heat accumulation in the device Heat can damage the device. Ensure adequate heat dissipation. In view of the varied installa- tion options Baumer does not make any recommendation for heat dissipation, but we suggest the following: a) Any form of convection around device and mounting helps reduce temperature. Prevent any heat accumulation! b) Mounting combined with forced convection may provide proper heat dissipation.
