8.1 Installation
8.1.1 Tools Required for Installation
The following tools are required for installation:
• Allen wrench for the M4 hex head mounting screws
The following additional items are only required for installation where no threaded hole is
present:
• M4 thread cutter (bottoming tap or hand tap set)
• Drill (for pre-drilling mounting holes for the module and installing the system)
You also need two M4 cylinder head hex screws per DIN 912 / ISO 4762 of adequate
length.
8.1.2 Before Installation
Always note the following information:
• The product must only be installed and put into operation by qualified electrical special-
ists per EN 50110‑1/-2 and IEC 60364.
• Observe the safety information in section
8
• Before installation, check the product for damage, such as transport damage. Dam-
aged products must not be put into operation.
8.1.3 Installation Instructions
Note the following for selection of the installation location:
• Install the product in such a way that it is protected against weather exposure (no di-
rect sunlight; no salt water or spray).
• Note that the module should not be installed in the immediate vicinity of objects or de-
vices that can get hot. For a high level of module utilization, the temperature-depen-
dent operating range can be extended by installing metal surfaces or profiles or the
like, or by installation in a ventilated outdoor environment. The modules’ internal tem-
perature measurement can be used for optimization.
• Screw the product down only on flat contact surfaces to protect it from mechanical
warping.
• To protect the product from tensile forces that may arise, do not bridge spaces with it.
• To avoid damaging the product, do not mount it in shearing zones of moving devices.
Furthermore, lay the cables in such a way that they cannot get into the shearing zone
of movable equipment parts.
• Leave sufficient space for easy product replacement and for hooking up the pluggable
connections.
• Ensure that the requirements on the product concerning exposure to vibration and
shock are met at the installation location.
• Install the product in such a way that the product’s diagnostic LEDs remain visible.
Note the following concerning the installation procedure:
• Disconnect the power supply from the system before beginning mounting
• Ensure sufficient potential equalization in your system
