3.2.3 Assembly Heights 
Because of the connectors for communication and I/O level the HIMatrix devices require the 
assembly heights shown in the table below. With compact devices they apply from the fixing 
rail: 
HIMatrix device  Assembly height 
F60 270 mm 
F1 DI 16 01  100 mm 
F2 DO 4 01  100 mm 
F2 DO 8 01  120 mm 
F2 DO 16 01  100 mm 
F2 DO 16 02 
120 mm 
F3 DIO 8/8 01  100 mm 
F3 DIO 16/8 01  100 mm 
F3 DIO 20/8 01  100 mm 
F3 DIO 20/8 02  100 mm 
F3 AIO 8/4 01  100 mm

Table 1: Assembly heights 
*Assembly height = height HIMatrix + height of Profibus connector 
Right connector  :   100 mm + 50 mm 
45º connector  :  100 mm + 40 mm 
90º connector  :  100 mm + 35 mm   
3.2.4  Pluggable Cable Dimensions 
At the terminals and plugs of the HIMatrix Compact Systems and the Modular System F60 
the following cable dimensions with wire ends are pluggable: 
 
Power supply  Terminal 
   
up to 2.5 mm
2
  up to 1.5 mm
2
3.3 Heat Contemplation 
The increasing integration of electronic components results in increasing heat dissipation. 
The amount of heat depends on the external load on the HIMatrix devices. Therefore, de-
pending on the design of the installation, the devices and the air distribution are significant. 
It is important to comply with the approved environmental conditions when installing the de-
vices. A reduced operating temperature extends the service life and reliability of the installed 
components.
