General notes
Attention!
The following points must be complied with during the mechanical installation to avoid causing a defect
in the device due to assembly errors or environmental in
fl
uences:
•
Before installation remove the device from the packing and check for any possible shipping
damage! Start-up is not allowed in the case of transport damage!
•
At a weight greater than 25 kg for men / 10 kg for women, the device should be lifted out by two
persons (according to REFA). The values may differ from country to country.
•
Wear safety shoes and gloves for handling!
•
Assemble the device on a clean and stable base. Do not distort during assembly! Use the
appropriate mounting devices for proper installation of the unit!
•
Do not mount equipment on vibrating base!
•
When mounted onto lightweight walls, there must be no impermissibly high vibrations or shock
loads. Any banging shut of doors that are integrated into these lightweight walls, can result in
extremely high shock loads. Therefore, we advise you to decouple the devices from the wall.
•
Do not allow drilling chips, screws and other foreign bodies to reach the device interior!
•
The device should be installed in a location where it will not be disturbed, but at the same time can
be easily accessed!
•
Depending on the housing model use supplied stoppers for cable inlets, cut off necessary cable
inlets respectively to the cable diameter. Or alternative use cable inlet for cable glands. Any cable
ducts openings not used must be sealed!
•
Care must be taken to avoid direct radiation from the sun!
•
The device is designed for vertical installation (bottom cable inlet). A horizontal or reclined installa-
tion is only permissible after technical release of the manufacturer!
•
Be sure to observe proper heat dissipation (see Technical data, heat dissipation).
4.2
Minimum space requirement
In order to ensure suf
fi
cient ventilation of the device, clearance on all sides of at least 50 mm has to
be maintained to the housing walls, switch cabinet doors, wiring ducts, etc. The same clearance
applies to the installation of several devices next to each other.
When installing several devices on top of each other, the danger of reciprocal heating exists. This
layout is only then permissible when the air suctioned from the upper unit does not become warmer
than the permissible ambient temperature (see Technical data). I.e., a correspondingly larger clear-
ance or thermal shielding is required.
