    There is no additional indication if the power supply fuse blows. The fuse is not user-replaceable. Power Cord Retainer A clip is provided on the StationPortal unit to provide retention for a few types of power cords. Warning Electrical Shock Hazard: To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment, ensure that the power cord is disconnected from AC input power during the installation of the power cord and power cord retainer clip.

    IP20 Rated temperature limits refer to the ambient air temperature immediately surrounding (within 3” - 7.6 cm) the StationPortal where it is mounted. Provisions for remaining within the stated limits must be considered where additional external thermal loads are imposed on the StationPortal. These could include large heat producing motor drives or power supplies in the same cabinet.
