For installation in control cabinets, note the SIMATIC setup guidelines as well as the
relevant DIN/VDE requirements or the country-specific regulations.
•
Ensure that the device is classified as "Open Equipment" when using it in the area of
Industrial Control Equipment (UL 61010). A UL 61010 compliant enclosure is therefore a
mandatory requirement for approval or operation according to UL 61010.
•
Provide adequate volume in the control cabinet for air circulation and heat transport.
Keep at least 5 cm distance between the device and control cabinet.
•
The ventilation slots of the device may not be covered or obstructed.
