3.1 Preparing for installation
ITC V3, ITC V3 PRO
42 Operating Instructions, 03/2024, A5E42761061-AF
3.1.2 Checking the operating conditions
Note the following aspects before installing the HMI device:
1. Familiarize yourself with the standards, approvals, EMC parameters and technical
specifications for operation of the HMI device. This information is available in the following
sections:
– Labels, certificates and approvals (Page 167)
– Electromagnetic compatibility (Page 173)
2. Check the mechanical and climatic ambient conditions for operation of the HMI device:
– Mechanical environmental conditions (Page 175)
– Climatic ambient conditions (Page 176)
3.1.3 Built-in units
3.1.3.1 Permitted mounting positions
Mounting position
The device is suitable for installation in:
• Mounting cabinets
• Control cabinets
• Switchboards
• Consoles
In the following, all of these mounting options are referred to by the general term "control
cabinet".
The device is self-ventilated and may be installed up to an angle of +/-35° to the vertical.
NOTICE
Damage due to overheating
An inclined installation reduces the convection by the device and therefore the maximum
permitted ambient temperature for operation.
If there is sufficient convection from forced ventilation, the HMI device can also be operated
in the inclined mounting position up to the maximum permitted ambient temperature for
vertical installation. The HMI device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and
warranty will be void.
The operating temperature ranges specified in this section apply to the rear and front of the
HMI device.
For detailed information regarding the permitted ambient temperatures, refer to section
"Climatic ambient conditions (Page 176)".
