• Mount the network engine in areas free of corrosive vapors and observe the environmental
• Do not mount the network engine on surfaces that are prone to vibration or in areas where
electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring can interfere with network engine
communication.
• Allow sufficient space for running cable and wire, making terminal connections, and accessing
battery compartment (Figure 3).
• Mount the power supply above the network engine to ensure adequate heat dissipation and to
position close to the power wiring conduit.
On panel or enclosure mount applications, observe these additional guidelines:
• Do not install the network engine in an airtight enclosure.
• Mount the network engine so that the enclosure wall or the transformer does not obstruct
ventilation of the network engine housing.

Each network engine application is different, and no general guidelines can be given about the
heat dissipating devices that may be mounted in an enclosure with the network engine. Monitor
the network engine processor temperature for each application to determine the acceptable
combinations of devices and proper mounting location for your specific application.
Important:
Do not add any devices to an enclosure with a network engine that could cause
the temperature of the network engine processor to exceed 70˚C (158˚F). View the network
engine's CPU Temperature value on the network engine's Diagnostic tab on the
