Installation on the mounting rail
Note
Installation position and minimum distances
The modules or devices may overheat, if the installation position is incorrect or the mini-
mum distances are not adhered to.
The devices may only be operated at ambient temperatures up to 60 °C. Ensure adequate
ventilation. Choose a horizontal installation position for the devices. Leave at least 30 mm
clearance above and below the installed devices.
Correct installation position
The devices may be operated up to an ambient temperature of 60 °C. The high performance and the
compact design of the CX2000 Embedded PC series may result in increased heat generation. The heat is
dissipated via a passive ventilation system. Venting of the devices requires a correct installation position.
Ventilation openings are located at the top and bottom of the housing. The system therefore has to be
installed horizontally. This ensures optimum airflow through the devices in vertical direction.
During installation, leave at least 30 mm clearance above and below the devices to ensure adequate
ventilation.
The images below show the permitted and two unacceptable installation positions:
Incorrect installation positions
The CX20x0 system must not be operated vertically on the DIN rail. This installation position provides
insufficient ventilation for the devices. In horizontal position the devices are not sufficiently ventilated either.
