2.3 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RS940G is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility.
It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 35 mm (1.4 in)
DIN rail or directly on a panel.
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed,
refer to "Dimension Drawings" (Page 28).
