5.1 Choosing a mounting location
This section provides guidelines to help you select the best mounting location,
suggestions to ensure optimum performance, cautions and warnings that you
should follow in order to avoid injury and/or equipment damage, plus step-by-step
instructions for mounting a PowerRouter unit.
This section contains:
1. Choosing a mounting location
2. Dimensions and recommended clearances
3. Mounting procedure
Occasionally, the rating label on the PowerRouter will need to be referred
to. For this reason, the PowerRouter must be mounted so that the rating
label on the bottom of the unit is visible after installation.
The PowerRouter weights 15.2 kg. To avoid injury, ensure the use of
proper lifting techniques and secure the help of a second person to assist
with mounting of the unit.

Take account of the following guidelines, cautions, and warnings when choosing a
mounting location for the PowerRouter:
• Do not install the PowerRouter in direct sunlight. External heating from exposure to
the sun may cause excessive internal heating. This may result in output power being
reduced in order to protect the internal components from damage.
• Install the PowerRouter in a location that maintains an ambient air temperature that
is less than 40 °C. To maintain a safe internal component temperature, the
PowerRouter may reduce power if the ambient air temperature exceeds 40 °C. (The
cooler the air temperature, the longer the life expectancy of any power electronics
device.)
• The PowerRouter is designed for indoor installations. (IP21)
• The PowerRouter should be installed in a location that is inaccessible to children.
• The PowerRouter emits a slight vibrating noise when operating. This vibration is
normal and has no effect on performance but it can be disturbing if the unit is
mounted on a wall in a living area, on the outside of a wall that is near a living area,
or on certain types of materials, such as thin wood panelling or sheet metal.
