HIMA HIMatrix F60 - 1.4 Service and Training

HI 800 101 HIMatrix Engineering Manual
3 Installation of HIMatrix Devices
The safety-related HIMatrix controller systems can be installed on mounting bases, and also
in closed cases such as control stations, terminal boxes and control racks. They have been
developed in compliance with applicable standards for EMC, climate and environmental re-
quirements. These standards are to be found in Chapter
9 Operating Conditions and also
in the manuals for the HIMatrix systems and must be observed.
The protection class of the HIMatrix devices (IP 20) can be increased by installation in a sui-
table housing in accordance to the specific requirements. However, the heat dissipation (see
Chapter
3.3) must be checked.
3.1 Mechanical
The modular HIMatrix F60 controller has two perpendicular mounting links each of which has
two slotted holes for fastening. They must be installed on a flat base.
When installing the F60 make sure that it is fastened
in place with no mechanical distortion.
The screws and the selected base must be suitable to hold the weight of the F60 controller
of max. 10 kg.
The HIMatrix compact devices are mounted on a rail and not directly on a base. This makes
it impossible to bend the bottom of the case.
3.2 Installation of Controllers
3.2.1 Installation
All devices must be mounted in a horizontal position (with reference to the inscription on the
front plate) to ensure sufficient ventilation. Mounting in a vertical position requires additional
measures to ensure sufficient ventilation.
See the relevant manuals for the dimensions of the various devices.
The minimum distances between HIMatrix devices, to devices from other manufacturers also
as to cabinet walls are as follows
• vertical minimum 100 mm,
• horizontal approx. 20 mm (set by the fastening straps with the F60).
The installation space (rack heights) must also be considered for attaching connectors for
the inputs and outputs and for communication (see Chapter
3.2.3 Assembly heights).
3.2.1.1 Cable routing
Connect the HIMatrix controller on the shortest possible way with the cables from the cable
duct. Avoid cable routing across the front plates of the controller.
