Mounting / Dismounting, Operating Position

6.1.1 Operating Position
DANGER! Risk of explosion if device installed in incorrect position.
Non-compliance may result in serious or even fatal injuries.
 The device must be secured to the floor or a wall only – it is not designed to be
installed overhead or used as a free-standing unit.
 Install the device on a level surface only.
 Secure the device using the anchoring brackets. Refer to chapter "Appendix B" for the
dimensions of the fastening holes.
 Align the enclosure depending on the mounting type:
• For vertical installation: Any orientation.
• For horizontal installation: Cover on top.
• The device must not be suspended above the ground/the cover must not be at an angle.

6.1.2 Environmental Installation Conditions

 Provide a protective roof or wall if the explosion-protected device is exposed to weather.
 Equip explosion-protected electric equipment with a breather and drain valve in order to
prevent the vacuum effect.
Observe the correct mounting orientation (bottom) when doing so. Also see chapter 6.1.1
 Do not create any cold bridges (condensation hazard). If necessary, install the enclosure
with a clearance to minimise condensation in the enclosure.
