7 Installation
Observe the following precautions when installing MP2200/MP23/MP2400.
• Install MP2200/MP23/MP2400 perpendicular to the wall so that the front panel
faces outward.
• Firmly secure the MP2200/MP23/MP2400 through four mounting holes.
• Install MP2200/MP23/MP2400 so that MP2200/MP23/MP2400 can be
cooled by natural convection.
• Be sure to install a cover (JEPMC-OP2300) on the front of an unused slot.
Installation Sites
For installation sites, use proper care with the following notes.
Situation
Notes on Installation
When installed in a control panel
• Design the control panel size, unit layout, and cooling
method so that the temperature around the periphery of the
MP2200/MP23/MP2400 does not exceed 55
°C.
• When installing MP2200/MP23/MP2400 side by side
in a control panel, install cooling fans and provide sufficient
space around each MP2200/MP23/MP2400 to allow
cooling by fan and natural convection.
When installed near a heating unit
Suppress radiation heat from the heating unit and a tempera-
ture rise caused by convection so that the temperature around
the periphery of the MP2200/MP23/MP2400 does not
exceed 55
°
C.
When installed near a source of
vibration
Install a vibration isolator underneath the MP2200/
MP23/MP2400 to prevent it from receiving vibration.
When installed in a place receiving
corrosive gases
Corrosive gases do not immediately affect the MP2200/
MP23/MP2400 but will eventually cause contactor-
related devices to malfunction. Take appropriate action to pro-
tect against corrosive gases.
Others
• Avoid installation in a hot and humid place or where exces-
sive dust or iron powder is present in the air.
• Be sure there is no condensation or freezing.
• Keep the ambient temperature 45
°C or less to ensure long-
term reliability.
