Note the permissible installation positions

Increased heat generation The Embedded PC may overheat if the installation position is incorrect or the minimum distances are not adhered to. The Embedded PC may only be operated at ambient temperatures of up to 60 °C. Ensure adequate ventilation. Select a horizontal installation position. Leave at least 30 mm clearance above and below the Embedded PC.

Install the Embedded PC horizontally in the control cabinet on a mounting 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 PCs.
• 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.

Correct installation position

The Embedded PC must be installed horizontally on the mounting 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 PCs required, in order to ensure adequate ventilation.
