5 Mechanical Installation Considerations
5.1 Storing the System Module
If it is necessary to store the product before installing it, follow these instructions. Keep the equipment sealed in its packaging until
installation.
1. Make sure that the ambient conditions correspond to these:
Ü
Temperature: -40...+70 °C (-40...+158°F)
Humidity: 0...96%, condensation must be avoided
2. If the package is kept in storage for more than 2 months, keep it in controlled conditions.
a. Make sure that the temperature variation is small.
b. Make sure that the humidity is less than 50%.
5.2 Requirements for the Cabinet
The system modules that are described in this guide have the protection rating IP00/Open Type and do not have an enclosure. They
must be installed in a cabinet or other enclosure that has a correct level of protection against the ambient conditions in the installation
area. Make sure that the cabinet gives protection against water, humidity, dust, and other contaminations. The protection rating of the
cabinet must be at least IP21/UL Type 1. The mounting surface of the cabinet must be non-combustible.
The cabinet must also be sufficiently strong to carry the weight of the system module and other devices. It is recommended to use a free-
standing, floor-mounted cabinet made of sheet metal.
The maximum temperature of the air inside the cabinet is +60 °C (+140 °F).
When preparing the installation, obey the local regulations.
5.3 Mechanical Installation
5.3.1 Installation Requirements
The system modules that are described in this guide have the protection rating IP00/Open Type. Install them in a cabinet or other
enclosure that has a correct level of protection against the ambient conditions in the installation area.
The installation procedure varies between product categories and mechanical variants depending on selected options.
Reserve enough space around the system module to ensure sufficient cooling. The mounting plane must be relatively even.
5.3.2 Installation Directions
NOTICE
Do not install the system module upside down or the front side facing down.
The system module can be installed vertically, horizontally, and on its backside.
5.3.3 Installing System Modules
5.3.3.1 Installing System Modules into a Cabinet Vertically
1. Install the system module into the cabinet in a vertical position.
2. Use mounting holes to attach the system module into the cabinet.
a. Use M6 grade 8.8 screws.
