MSC INSTALLATION
The are designed to be permanently installed in a
central control room/cupboard or DIN consumer unit for remote deployment. The enclosure
and mounting complies with DIN43880 and EN60715 (35/7.5 rail) respectively.
The units are 100% solid state and have been qualified to operate in a dry environment within a
temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). Sealed IP65 rated consumer units are
available for outdoor use, please consult your ETC distributor or representative.
Since the units require no user intervention once installed they are suitable for remote
installation with all configuration and management taking place over an Ethernet network.
However it is recommended that access can be gained in the unlikely event of a hardware
failure.
