3.1.3

Selecting a mounting position

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 HMI device is self-ventilated and approved for inclined mounting at angles of up to +/-
35° in stationary cabinets.
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 installation. The HMI device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and
warranty will be void.
