RC1xx - User Manual

Mounting the RC1xx

5.1

Environmental considerations

Mount the RC1xx unit vertically or horizontally on the DIN rail to allow the
display to be read easily.

If the average output power exceeds 15W, the RC1xx must be mounted
vertically to allow air to pass through it. Leave 25mm clear either side of
the RC1xx to aid cooling.

The RC1xx has an ingress rating of IP20 and it should be sited so that
water or dirt cannot enter the unit.
