WARNING
Do not install the device in environments with risk of explosion, flooding, or the presence
of flammable fluids or solids. Ensure sufficient ventilation in the room.
Refer to local regulations when selecting the appropriate installation location.
WARNING
The degree of protection of the device is only ensured if, at the end of the installation, the
cover screws and the cable glands have been properly tightened. Close the holes of un-
used cable glands with the appropriate plugs.
Protect the device from direct exposure to weather and sunlight.
Do not leave the device installed without cover or with the cable glands open, even if not
connected to the power supply. The infiltration of dust, water or humidity may irreparably
damage the device.
WARNING
To ensure continuity of operation, the device is able to gradually and automatically reduce
performance before shutting down due to over-temperature. However, prolonged opera-
tion above the rated temperature leads to a reduction in the life of the device.
6.2. Cooling
The device is cooled primarily by forced air circulation through the heat sink element.
In addition to the heat sink, the device also uses the remaining surfaces to cool itself. It is therefore nec-
essary to ensure sufficient space around the device during installation.
In particular, the suction and discharge side of the heat sink must have at least the following distances
from other surfaces:
• 150 mm for current ratings up to 18 A
• 200 mm for current ratings up to 30 A
• 250 mm for current ratings up to 44 A
On the other sides, it is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 100 mm to allow for cooling
and to make installation and maintenance operations easier.
During operation, the surfaces of the device may become so hot that burns may occur. It is advisable not
to touch.
In the case of installation inside electric cabinet, it is necessary to guarantee the appropriate air flow for
the heat dissipation of all the components. The heat released by the device may be calculated from its
conversion efficiency.
