2) Make certain the unit mounting hardware is not compromised by the rack or cabinet installation.
3) Verify that the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit does not overload the circuit, and that
a reliable earth ground is maintained for the power connection.
Other mounting options, such as desk stands, are available.
Outdoor Installation
Although systems are dust and moisture proof, solar radiation from direct sunlight can overheat the
enclosure. Solar radiation will also degrade the display window and reduce readability of the display due
to glare. To minimize the impact of solar radiation, the following display orientations are listed in order of
preference:
1) Facing north is the preferred orientation. The majority of solar radiation will be directed at the sides of
the enclosure, which have the smallest surface area. Minimum direct sunlight will fall on the heat
exchanger panels.
2) Facing east is fair. Morning solar radiation will directly heat the display area.
3) Facing west is poor and should be avoided. Solar radiation will directly heat the heat exchanger
panels for most of the day.
4) For southern latitudes, facing south is the preferred orientation.
Caution! To avoid equipment damage, any system installed outdoors must be provided
with shielding from direct solar radiation. If shelter is not available, you must install the
optional sunshield.
Installation Hardware
Warning! systems must be installed by trained professionals, following safe
industrial practices for electrical equipment installation and maintenance. If the
instructions in this manual conflict with local laws and requirements, then local
laws and requirements should prevail.
Tools and materials required for installation:
1) Mounting hardware (included)
2) Metal framing channels (Unistrut™ or Superstrut™ recommended)
3) Hardware to attach the product to the framing channel
4) Wrench to tighten the mounting hardware
5) Carpenter's level, measuring and marking instruments
Caution! Failure to provide and maintain adequate environmental seals to conduit
fittings during and after installation can damage the system and expose the user to
hazardous voltages.
After gathering the necessary tools and determining the general location for the installation, proceed as
follows:
