In the following, all of these mounting options are referred to by the general term "cabinet".
The device is self-ventilated and approved for inclined mounting at angles up to +/-35° in
stationary cabinets.
NOTICE
Damage due to overheating
Inclined installation reduces the convection by the device and therefore the maximum
permitted ambient temperature for operation.
If there is sufficient forced ventilation, the device can also be operated in the inclined
mounting position up to the maximum permitted ambient temperature for vertical
installation. The device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and warranty will
be rendered null and void.
For information on permitted ambient temperatures, refer to the section Technical
specifications (Page 84).
