2.2 Mounting the IMx-8/IMx-8Plus
When selecting a location for the IMx, including any outer cabinet, make sure to
consider the following aspects:
•
Position it to minimise vibration and to keep clear of high voltage equipment.
•
Avoid unnecessary exposure to radiant heat or strong magnetic fields.
•
Choose a location convenient for cable routing, to and from the cabinet.
•
With unobstructed access and clearance for opening the lid.
•
Suitable for a cabinet of this size and weight.
•
That will accommodate all the required fixing points.
The IMx-8/IMx-8Plus have a blue, painted aluminium enclosure that is IP30
classified. To provide higher environmental protection, they should be mounted
inside a cabinet: an IP65 classified cabinet can be provided by SKF. When using any
outer cabinet, always use all the recommended fixings to mount and secure it.
For the SKF IP65 classified cabinet all the needed brackets, screws and gaskets are
included. Refer section
for the enclosure and cabinet dimensions and fixing
centres. When selecting a type of cable gland, parameters such as IP-classification
and cable shielding connection must be carefully considered so as not to
compromise the IP65 certification of the cabinet.
