Automation PC 3100 user's manual V0.60
Caution!
When installed at an angle, the convection of air through the device is reduced, which decreases
the maximum permissible ambient temperature for operation. If sufficient external cooling is
present when the device is installed at an angle, the limit of the maximum permissible ambient
temperature must be checked in each case. Otherwise, the device can become damaged and
the certifications and warranty for the device nullified.
•
The device is only certified for operation in enclosed rooms.
•
The device is not permitted to be subjected to direct sunlight.
•
Ventilation holes are not permitted to be covered.
•
When installed in a closed housing, enough space must be available for air to circulate sufficiently, see
2.2.3 "Spacing for air circulation"
Information:
Additional space needed to operate or service the device must be taken into account during
installation.
•
The device must be installed on a flat, clean and burr-free surface.
•
It is important to ensure that the wall or control cabinet plate can hold four times the total weight of the
device. If necessary, the interior of the installation cutout must be reinforced in order to strengthen the
installation surface.
Caution!
In the event of insufficient load-carrying capacity of the installation surface, inadequate mount-
ing or improper mounting materials, the device may fall and become damaged.
•
The device is not permitted to be positioned next to other heat sources that could cause overheating.
•
When connecting cables (DVI, SDL, USB, etc.), the bend radius must be taken into account.
