Note the permissible installation positions

Install the Embedded PC horizontally in the control cabinet on a DIN rail, in order to ensure optimum heat dissipation.

Note the following specifications for the control cabinet:

• The Embedded PC should only be operated at ambient temperatures between -25 °C and 60 °C. Measure the temperature below the Embedded PC at a distance of 30 mm to the cooling fins, in order to determine the ambient temperature correctly.
• Adhere to the minimum distances of 30 mm above and below the Embedded PC.
• Additional electrical equipment affects the heat generation in the control cabinet. Select a suitable control cabinet enclosure depending on the application, or ensure that excess heat is dissipated from the control cabinet.

The Embedded PC must be mounted horizontally on the DIN rail. Ventilation openings are located at the top and bottom of the housing. This ensures an optimum airflow through the Embedded PC in vertical direction. In addition, a minimum clearance of 30 mm above and below the Embedded PC is required, in order to ensure adequate ventilation.

If vibrations and impact occur in the same direction as the DIN rail, the Embedded PC must be secured with an additional bracket, in order to prevent it slipping.

Installation positions with reduced temperature range up to 45 °C

You can also mount the Embedded PC vertically or horizontally on the mounting rail. Note that you can then only operate the Embedded PC up to an ambient temperature of 45 °C.

Ensure that Bus Terminals that are connected to the Embedded PC are designed for operation in vertical or horizontal position.

Restrictions for E-bus/K-bus current

The maximum E-bus/K-bus current varies depending on the selected installation position and the ambient temperature.
