5.3 Notes on heat dissipation
CAUTION
Device may heat up during operation!
High temperatures may damage the device and when in contact with the skin for a longer time
may cause irritations.
a) Make sure that heat dissipation is provided by appropriate installation. Best, heat dissipates
via the rear.
b) Use at limit level requires mounting to a solid metal body (aluminum)!
c) Temperature monitoring allows for temperature checks in installed condition. Implement
safety measures at the warning threshold. If required, use the cooling element provided at
the device and/or support.
Furthermore, we recommend the following for heat dissipation by device installation:
n
Avoid installation onto stainless steel. Stainless steel has a roughly 10-fold lower thermal
conductivity compared to aluminium.
n
Do not install the device at the end of a profile; this will allow heat to dissipate on both sides
(higher temperature drops over a larger area)!
n
Matt painted surfaces (any color) and anodized surfaces provide better heat dissipation than
bare metallic surfaces (radiation heat). Use painted or anodized profiles for device installa-
tion.
n
Any form of convection around device and fittings helps lower the temperature. Avoid heat
accumulation!
n
Do not operate any other devices close to the sensor, since the sensor could heat up further
by exhaust heat.
n
Mount the sensor at rear optimal heat dissipation.
