Installation
Orientation
The DuraMAR 5915-3X can be mounted either vertically or horizontally and will perform equally well in
either orientation. The target location normally dictates the mounting orientation.
Choosing a Mounting Location
– Thermal Considerations
The DuraMAR5915-3X enclosure is highly efficient at removing heat from the inside of the unit to the
outside of the finned enclosure. It is best to mount the unit on a thermally cool, thermally conductive
surface to keep the overall temperature as low as possible. Every effort has been made to meet stringent
thermal performance criteria as outlined in the specifications. However, it is always good practice to keep
the DuraMAR5915-3X as cool as possible, avoiding environments which do not allow the thermal
conduction of heat away from the unit.
