Installation guidelines
Before installing the device, read the following general notes relating to installation.
WARNING
Danger, high voltage
Isolate the power supply to the control cabinet before opening it. Ensure that the power to
the control cabinet cannot be turned on accidentally.
●
Ensure that the protective contact socket of the building installation is easily accessible
and that there is a mains disconnect switch in control cabinet installations.
●
Position the screen in an ergonomic position favorable to the user. Choose a suitable
installation height.
●
Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of
light.
●
DVD drives are susceptible to vibration. Shocks during operation can lead to the loss of
data or damage to the drive or data carrier. Burners and DVDs are not suitable for
continuous operation.
●
Applies to devices which are installed in swivel arm housings: Avoid rapid or jerky
movements of the swivel arm during operation. The ensuing forces could lead to possible
irreversible damage of the hard disk.
●
The device with DC power supply is considered an open piece of equipment where the
voltage supply is concerned. Therefore, make sure that the control cabinet fulfills the the
requirements of a fire-proof housing.
●
Provide adequate volume in the control cabinet for air circulation and heat transport.
Keep 5 cm clearance on all sides between the device and the control cabinet. This
clearance is increased accordingly with connection cables.
●
Do not allow the maximum air intake temperature to exceed 45° C. The temperature
measured at a distance of 5 cm from an air inlet is decisive. The maximum air intake
temperature must be accounted for especially when sizing closed control cabinets.
●
The minimum distance between the device and the housing is 5 cm on the air output side
at the ventilator.
●
Position the device so that the air vents of the housing are not covered up following
installation.
●
Ensure there is enough free space in the control cabinet to allow the sheet metal cover to
be removed. You will otherwise have to remove the device from the control cabinet or
swivel arm when replacing the memory or the back-up battery.
