INSTALLATION
DIN rail should be mounted horizontally so that the unit’s ventilation holes
are vertical in relation to cabinet orientation. A minimum clearance of 1 inch
(25.4 mm) should be maintained above and below the unit in order to ensure
proper thermal regulation.
The unit shall be installed inside a UL Listed Industrial Control Panel or
similar type of enclosure. A minimum 3.2 mm distance shall be maintained
between the hazardous live parts of the equipment and accessible parts of the
fire/electrical enclosure.
