Installation positions
Notice | |
Constraints regarding installation position and operating temperature range Please refer to the technical data for a terminal to ascertain whether any restrictions regarding the installation position and/or the operating temperature range have been specified. When installing high power dissipation terminals ensure that an adequate spacing is maintained between other components above and below the terminal in order to guarantee adequate ventilation! |
Optimum installation position (standard)
The optimum installation position requires the mounting rail to be installed horizontally and the connection surfaces of the EL- / KL terminals to face forward (see Fig. “Recommended distances for standard installation position”). The terminals are ventilated from below, which enables optimum cooling of the electronics through convection. “From below” is relative to the acceleration of gravity.
Compliance with the distances shown in Fig. “Recommended distances for standard installation position” is recommended.
Prescribed installation position
Notice | |
Prescribed installation position for high-precision terminals The high-precision terminals (e.g. EL3314-0002, EL3314-0010), see technical data of the relevant terminals, may only be operated in the above described Optimum installation position (standard), since only in this installation position the increased measuring accuracy is ensured. Compliance with the clearances (see figure above "Recommended clearances for standard installation position") is strongly recommended! |
Other installation positions
All other installation positions are characterized by different spatial arrangement of the mounting rail - see Fig “Other installation positions”.
The minimum distances to ambient specified above also apply to these installation positions.
