2.1.3 Spacing for air circulation
In order to guarantee sufficient air circulation, the specified amount of space above, below, to the side and behind
the device must be provided. The minimum specified spacing is indicated in the following diagram. This applies
to all variants.
Information:
The following image and table provides a thermal examination of the complete system. If additional
space is needed to operate or maintain the device, this must be taken into consideration during instal-
lation.
Air intake and exhaust is indicated in the following image for active Panel PCs (with fan kit). The air intake on
passive Panel PCs (without fan kit) is located on the bottom to accommodate the rising warm air.

Caution!
The spacing specifications for air circulation are based on the worst-case scenario for operation at
the maximum specified ambient temperature. The maximum specified ambient temperature must not
be exceeded!
If the spacing specifications for air circulation cannot be adhered to, then the maximum specified
temperatures for the temperature sensors (see "Temperature sensor positions" on page 30) must
be monitored by the user and appropriate measures taken if they are exceeded.
