3.2.1  Installation information 
 
WARNING 
 
Danger, high voltage 
A high voltage may be present in the switchgear cabinet and could cause a dangerous 
electric shock. 
It may result in death or serious physical injury. 
Isolate the power supply to the switchgear cabinet before opening it. Ensure that the power 
to the switchgear cabinet cannot be turned on accidentally. 
 
CAUTION 
 
Risk of fire 
If you install the device in an unapproved mounting position or if you do not observe the 
ambient conditions, the device can overheat. UL approval and conformity with the low-
voltage directive (EN 60950-1:2006 and DIN EN 60950-1:2006-11) become void. 
Overheating can cause a fire. Proper functioning of the device is no longer guaranteed. 
Before you install the device, note the following general installation information.

The device fulfills the requirements for a fire protection housing according to EN 60950-1. 
Therefore, it can be installed without additional fire protection.

●  Provide adequate volume in the switchgear cabinet for air circulation and heat transport. 
Keep at least 10 cm distance between the device and switchgear cabinet. 
●  Do not cover the vent slots of the device.  
●  Ensure that the maximum air intake temperature, measured 10 cm before the air intake 
opening, does not exceed 40° C. The maximum air intake temperature must be 
accounted for especially when sizing closed switchgear cabinets. 
●  The minimum distance between the device and the housing is 10 cm on the air output 
end. 
●  Install the device in such a way that it does not pose a danger, for example, by falling 
over.
