(2) Installation of a base unit
(a) Precaution when installing the base unit
1] Fix the base unit securely with screws in 4 places (M4, length 20mm (0.79in.)or longer) or DIN rail.
2] In order to keep within allowable ambient temperature range,
a) Ensure sufficient space for air circulation. (50mm (1.97in.) or more at top and bottom, 10mm (0.39in.)
or more at right and left)
b) Do not install close to equipment that generates a lot of heat (heater, transformer, large-capacity
resistance, etc.).
c) If ambient temperature is more than 55
°
C, install a fan or a cooler so that the ambient temperature
becomes below 55
°
C.
3] Do not install inside a cabinet with high-voltage equipments installed.
4] Install 200mm (7.87in.) or more away from high-voltage wires or power wires.
