Installing and connecting the device
3.1 Preparing for installation
3.1.3
Permitted mounting positions
The HMI device is suitable for installation in:
• Mounting cabinets
• Control cabinets
• Switchboards
• Consoles
In the following, all of these mounting options are referred to by the general term "cabinet".
The device is self-ventilated and approved for inclined mounting at angles up to +/-35° from
the vertical.
NOTICE
Damage due to overheating
An inclined installation reduces the convection by the HMI device and therefore the
maximum permitted ambient temperature for operation.
If there is sufficient convection from forced ventilation, the HMI device can also be operated
in the inclined mounting position up to the maximum permitted ambient temperature for
vertical mounting. The HMI device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and
warranty will be void.
The working temperature ranges listed in this section apply to the rear and the front of the
HMI device.
For detailed information regarding the permitted ambient temperatures, refer to section
"Climatic ambient conditions (Page 52)".
Mounting position
Choose one of the following permissible mounting positions for your HMI device. The
permissible mounting positions together with their operating temperatures are described in
the following sections using the MTP1500 Unified Comfort Hygienic HMI device as an
example.
