Selecting a mounting position
The HMI device is suitable for installation in:
•
Mounting cabinets
•
Control cabinets
•
Switchboards
•
Consoles
In the following, all of these mounting options are referred to by the general term "cabinet".
The HMI device is self-ventilated and approved for inclined mounting at angles of up to +/-35°
in stationary cabinets.
NOTICE
Damage due to overheating
An inclined installation reduces the convection by the HMI device and therefore the
maximum permitted ambient temperature for operation.
If there is sufficient convection from forced ventilation, the HMI device can also be operated
in the inclined mounting position up to the maximum permitted ambient temperature for
vertical installation. The HMI device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and
warranty will be void.
Note
Extended inclination and ambient temperature range
You can operate 7" to 15" devices with extended inclination and extended temperature range
under the following conditions:
•
The USB load does not exceed 100 mA per USB port.
•
The +24 V DC connection of the PROFIBUS interface is not used.
•
The relative atmospheric humidity behaves according to the climate diagram (Page 48) in
combination with the information on ambient temperature and relative humidity in the
technical specifications, see section "Classification for stationary and weather-protected
use (Page 45)".
The following mounting positions and temperature ranges are permitted under the specified
conditions:
•
Vertical landscape mounting with a maximum ambient temperature of +55 °C
•
Landscape mounting with an inclination of up to 35° from the vertical with a maximum
ambient temperature of 40 °C
