3.2 Mounting the device
3.2.1 Installation guidelines
Procedure during installation and mounting
Dangerous voltage and fire hazard
Improper actions during installation and assembly may lead to personal injury and/or
substantial damage to equipment.
You should observe the installation and assembly notes under:
• Notes on mounting (Page 28)
• Notes on ambient and environmental conditions (Page 28)
Insufficient load carrying capacity
If the wall it is mounted on does not have a sufficient load-bearing capacity, the device may
fall and be damaged.
• Ensure that the mounting surface on the wall can bear four times the total weight of the
device, including fixing elements.
Incorrect fixing elements
The device may not be securely fitted if you use fixing elements other than those specified
below for mounting. The device can fall and may be damaged.
• Use only the specified fixing elements.
See the notes under Preparing the mounting cutout (Page 39).
For installation in control cabinets, note the SIMATIC setup guidelines as well as the
relevant DIN/VDE requirements or the country-specific regulations.
Ensure that the device is classified as "Open Equipment" when using it in the area of
Industrial Control Equipment (UL 61010). A UL 61010 compliant enclosure is therefore a
mandatory requirement for approval or operation according to UL 61010.
Provide adequate volume in the control cabinet for air circulation and heat transport.
Keep at least 5 cm distance between the device and control cabinet.
The ventilation slots of the device may not be covered or obstructed.
Ensure there is enough clearance in the control cabinet to allow the backplane cover to
be removed.
Equip the control cabinet with struts for stabilizing the mounting cut-out. Install struts
where necessary.
