Mounting
5.1
Required tools
GUID-B9478208-286B-4CFF-9C47-074D641A6F71 v2
Generally, all the screws included in delivered mounting kits are of Torx type and a torque
screwdriver of the same type is needed (Tx10, Tx15, Tx20, Tx25 and Tx30).
Use only the screws included in the mounting kit when mounting the plates and
the angles on the IED. Screws with wrong dimension may damage the PCBs
inside the IED.
5.2
Checking environmental conditions and mounting
space
GUID-2AF46E8C-25B3-4606-A768-E4B70E3D6B0A v11
The mechanical and electrical environmental conditions at the installation site must be within
the limits described in the technical manual and IEC60255-1, normal environment.
•
Avoid installation in dusty, damp areas.
•
Check that sufficient space is available.
Sufficient space is needed at the front and rear of the IED to allow access to wires and
optical fibers and to enable maintenance and future modifications.
•
Ensure convection cooling around the case to minimize the heating effect within the IED.
•
Avoid installation in dusty, damp places and where combustible materials are
present near the IED
