3-1 Installation notes
For improved reliability and maximized functionality, take the following
information into consideration when installing a NQ-Series HMI.
3-1-1 Location
Do not install the NQ-Series in the following locations:
• Areas subject to explosion hazards due to flammable gasses, vapours and
dusts.
• Areas subject to dramatic temperature changes. Temperature changes can
cause condensation of water in the device.
• Areas with an ambient temperature lower than 0 °C or higher than 50 °C.
• Areas subject to shock or vibration.
3-1-2 Temperature control
• Provide adequate space for air flow.
• Do not install the NQ-Series above equipment that generates significant
heat.
• If the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C, install a cooling fan or air
conditioner.
3-1-3 Accessibility
• For safety during operation and maintenance, mount the NQ-Series as far
as possible from high-voltage equipment and power machinery.
3-1-4 Panel cut-out
Before the NQ-Series can be mounted, a rectangular cut-out must be made in
the panel in which the NQ-Series will be mounted. Table 3.1: Dimensions of
NQ-Series and required panel cut-out shows the dimensions and tolerances of
the NQ-Series, the panel and the required cut-out.

For portrait models exchange the W and H sizes. For portrait models the
cables will be mounted to the left side of the NQ-Series (view from front).
