5.2.3 Cabinet Location
General The control cabinet may be located at a convenient location outside the spray booth.
The cabinet should be placed in a manner which will provide proper cooling and
give space for entering cables via a cable conduit etc. The cables should be routed
under the cabinet from the back and entered into the cabinet via the bottom front
entrances. The cabinet should, for safety reasons, be secured to the floor using 4 e.a.
10 mm bolts. Access to the control cabinet interior is available from the front.
For information on controller dimensions, weight, footprint, etc, see ’Controller
Specifications’ on page 32.
Temperature
Requirements
To meet the requirements of proper cooling, the cabinet must have a free space of
minimum 10 cm at the back and sides. This is especially important where the
ambient temperature approaches the specified maximum. For temperature higher
than specified maximum, additional cooling device is required.
For information on controller temperature range, see ’Controller Specifications’ on
page 32.
Cooler For installation of cooler, see ’Cabinet Cooler Installation’ on page 105.
Protection Standard The cabinet enclosure protects against dust, splashing water and contact with live
parts. Degree of protection rating is IP54 in accordance with EN IEC 60529 and
NEMA 12. Avoid however spraying the control cabinet with water or other liquids.
Vibration and Shock The control cabinet and its contents can withstand shocks due to the normal
transport in the workshop. If the floor on which the cabinet is to stand permanently
is subject to vibration, the cabinet should be mounted on shock-absorbing vibration
dampers.
Isolation Transformer If the plant has a history of extreme mains power transients and interference
voltages, an isolation transformer or an interference suppression device should be
installed.
