2.6 RCU10 component mounting
2.6.1 RCU10-XX-XX or RCU10-PX-XX
The RCU10 is intended to be mounted in an electrical control cabinet or similar
environment. It is constructed with IP40 protection and therefore needs to be protected
from harsh environmental conditions.
The RCU10 may be mounted in any orientation, although the status display window is
intended to be read with the unit vertical (display window to the top).
If the RCU10-P is to be contained in a sealed enclosure, it will be necessary to port the
pressure sensor aperture to the outside environment such that the correct air pressure is
measured. This can be done by using 4 mm O.D. plastic tubing which will simply push fit
into the aperture. To remove the plastic tube, push the collet towards the connector whilst
pulling the tube.
Figure 2.13 – RCU10 dimensions
For connector/cable clearance purposes, allow 100 mm (4 in) from the front face of the
RCU10. Additionally, if a multi-axis system is being installed, allow 100 mm (4 in) from the
top face of the unit for the high-speed serial link cables.
Note: Using the fixings supplied with the unit (M4 x 5 cap head 4 mm plain
washers) ensures that earthing is achieved directly through the brackets.
