Installation Guidelines
-
Mounting: Ensure the device is securely mounted to the horizontal mounting sheet within the control cabinet. Keep a minimum clearance around the ventilation slots to ensure optimal passive airflow.
-
Grounding: Connect the housing's functional earth connection directly to the central low-impedance grounding point of the control cabinet.
-
Cable Routing: Separate signal cables (such as Ethernet and DVI) from high-voltage AC power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference.
-
Environment: Do not operate the system in ambient temperatures exceeding 55 degC. For continuous operation, ensure cabinet internal temperature remains within specified limits.
