When you plan your project, you should make allowances for:
• The climatic and mechanical environmental conditions specified in the specifications
given in your operating manual.
• At least 100 mm space should be left free around the ventilation slots, in order that the
PC receives sufficient ventilation.
• Do not cover the vent slots of the device.
• The device together with its AC power supply fulfils the requirements for fire protected
enclosures according to EN 60950-1. Therefore it can be installed without any additional
fire protective covering.
• The device with DC power supply does not conform to EN 60950-1 in the area of its
power supply connection; therefore the mounting must meet the requirements of a fire
enclosure.
• Always observe the mounting positions permitted for this device.
