Damage from condensation
NOTICE
Damage from condensation
If the device is subjected to low temperatures or extreme fluctuations in temperature during
transportation, moisture could occur on or inside the HMI device (condensation).
Moisture can cause a short-circuit in electrical circuits and damage the device.
•
Store the device in a dry place.
•
Bring the device to room temperature before starting it up.
•
Do not expose the device to direct heat radiation from a heating device.
•
If condensation develops, wait approximately 12 hours or until the device is completely
dry before switching it on.
Fire protection enclosure
Note
The device meets the requirements for fire protection enclosures in accordance with
IEC/EN/UL 60950-1. It can therefore be installed without an additional fire protection cover.
Rack mounting
Note
Rack-mount instructions
•
Elevated operating temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack, the operating ambient temperature may be
greater than the room temperature. Install the device in an environment recommended by
the manufacturer.
•
Reduced air flow
When installing the device in a rack, ensure that the air flow required for safe operation of
the device is guaranteed.
•
Mechanical load
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
caused due to an uneven mechanical load.
•
Circuit overload
When connecting the devices to the power supply, observe the rated values specified on
the nameplate of the devices.
•
Reliable grounding
Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be ensured.
