enclosure

Air diversion components are available as accessories –
please refer to the Rittal Catalogue.
It is important to ensure even air circulation inside the en-
closure. Under no circumstances should air inlet and
outlet openings be obstructed, otherwise the cooling
performance of the unit will be reduced. Ensure the dis-
tance "x" (see fig. 5) from components and other in-
stalled enclosures so that the required air circulation is
not obstructed and prevented.

4.3 Fitting the cooling unit
The enclosure cooling unit may optionally be externally
mounted on the enclosure (1), partially internally mount-
ed (2) or fully internally mounted (3):
Fig. 6: Installation method
To this end, cut the side panel or door of the enclosure
as per the drilling template included with the supply, and
drill the relevant holes.
Note:
Risk of condensation!
When arranging the electronic components
inside the enclosure, please ensure that the
cold airflow from the cooling unit is not di-
rected at active components. Please also
ensure that the cold airflow is not directed at
the warm exhaust airflow from active com-
ponents such as converters. This may lead
to an air short-circuit and therefore prevent
adequate climate control, or may even
cause the cooling unit’s internal safety de-
vices to cease cooling operation.
Note:
Units of type 3302.xxx and 3366.xxx can
only be either externally mounted or fully in-
ternally mounted.
Units of type 3332.xxx can only be either ex-
ternally mounted or partially internally
mounted; they cannot be mounted in locka-
ble doors on 600/1200 wide TS enclosures.
To mount units 3328.xxx, 3329.xxx and
3332.xxx in the TS side or rear panel, we
recommend using enclosure panel fasten-
ers 8800.071 (see Rittal Catalogue). For
high dynamic loads and mounting on the
enclosure door, we recommend using rein-
forced door hinges 8800.710 (see Rittal
Catalogue). Units with protection category
NEMA 4X are only suitable for external
mounting.
