The devices can be installed in the following ways: 
●  Installation on a 35 mm DIN rail 
●  Installation on a SIMATIC S7-300 standard rail 
●  Wall mounting 
 
If a device is operated in an ambient temperature between 50 ℃ and 75 ℃, the 
temperature of the device housing may be higher than 70 °C. The device must therefore be 
installed so that it is only accessible to service personnel or users that are aware of the 
reason for restricted access and the required safety measures at an ambient temperature 
of 50 ℃ to 75 ℃. 
Keep to the minimum clearances so that the convection ventilation of the device is not 
blocked. 
●  Below at least 10 cm 
●  Above at least 10 cm
