Preparation for Installation
Check the package contents and all accessories ordered for completeness and signs of dam-
age. If the contents are incomplete, damaged, or do not match your order, contact your delivery
service immediately.
Mounting
The device is intended for indoor use. If placed in a suitable housing, the device can also be
used outdoors.
The device is cooled passively. Natural airflow is required to ensure proper cooling. If the
device is installed in a housing, power dissipation from the device must be taken into account
(see chapter 3.2).
Vertical installation provides optimal cooling since air passes through the cooling fins.
Observe the following recommended distances to other electrical components or to a housing
wall:
• Below the device (if mounted vertically):
±
100 mm
• All other sides: ± 50 mm
