AFQm
Instruction Manual
It should be noted that, depending on the installation conditions in the cabinet and in the room where 
this is placed, the outflows of hot air may be sucked back in by the device’s fans, causing a feedback 
of hot air that will lower the performance of the device.
It is also necessary to bear in mind the power dissipated by the device when choosing where to install 
it, to ensure proper air recirculation, to make sure that the intake air is a suitable temperature. See 
“11. TECHNICAL FEATURES”.

3.2.1.3.- Cabinet-type AFQm
The cabinet-type AFQm uses a forced ventilation cooling system, with an air inlet on the front panel 
and an air outlet at the back of the device.
The ventilation grille at the top must not be blocked, leaving enough space to the ceiling to allow the 
heat to dissipate. The distance depends on the characteristics of the installation site.
There is no need to leave space between the sides or at the back of the cabinet; they can be installed 
next to other cabinets and against a wall.
