IMPORTANT!
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it is recommended
that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the device to allow for some
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to
Section5.5, “Dimension Drawings” .

Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RX1512 can be equipped with panel/DIN rail adapters pre-installed on
each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be slid onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail.
To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following:
1. Align the adapters with the DIN rails and slide the device into place.
