Installation Guidelines
-
Mounting: Attach the panel PC to a suitable mounting arm system using four M6 screws. Ensure the thread engagement depth into the backplane adapter does not exceed 18 mm.
-
Cabling: Use IP65-certified connectors and cables to maintain the environmental seal of the enclosure. Ensure all unused connector ports are fitted with protective caps.
-
Thermal Management: Maintain passive cooling efficiency by ensuring the housing fins remain clean and free from obstructions. Ambient temperature must be kept within 0 to 45 degC during operation.
-
Grounding: Ensure the device housing is properly grounded through the mounting arm or dedicated ground terminals to protect against electromagnetic interference.
