4.4 Enclosure and mounting of the module.
4.4.1 Ambient characteristics of the enclosure.
The enclosure must ensure that the temperature inside does not exceed 55 C (131 ºF) while
the device is in operating mode, with an ambient temperature of 45 ºC (113 ºF).
4.4.2 Enclosure design.
The enclosure must meet the following requirements:
• The degree of protection of the enclosure must be IP54, according to standard IEC
60529.
• The enclosure must have enough surface area to evacuate by convection the heat
generated inside.
• The enclosure must respect the minimum distances recommended between the
enclosure walls and the central unit to let the air flow and improve heat dissipation.
• In the connector area, reserve a space that allows the cables to be connected, respecting
their radius of curvature.
• The angle of the PPC-19, with regard to the vertical position, should not be greater than
30°.
• Keep the enclosure clean.
To meet the previous requirements, Fagor recommends the following.
• The enclosure must not have any ventilation holes, because they could let dust or other
substances in.
• To improve heat dissipation, install an internal fan inside the enclosure for air circulation.
