2. Box Installation
The box has prefabricated mounting holes designed for M6 screw installation. Note the dimensions in
the gure above.
Mount the box to a at sturdy wall. The box weight is 4 kg (9 lbs), so please take the appropriate
measures to make sure that the box is stable. Ensure that the inlet and outlet fans are not cov-
ered or too close to any nearby obstruction as to allow for a steady cooling airow through the
product. Place the box in such way, so that it is available for service and maintenance. A good
reference is to place the box so there is a minimum of 1.2m (47.3 inches) free space in front of
the box and a minimum of 1m from the ground. Mounting the cabinet, please use galvanized or

the quick connect connector on the outside of the box.
The power cable must be plugged into a grounded outlet or connected to a connection point
with grounding.This connection should also be protected from surges by use of a surge protec-
tion device accoding to IEC 62305 or IEEE 1100-2005.

The helioCORE system should be connected to a “WAN” network, that normally is the facilities
network. From this network, the user interface of the helioCORE could be accessed. This net-
work needs to have a dhcp server that can assign the helioCORE with an IP-address.
If the helioCORE system needs to be accessed remotely or to enable Heliospectra remote sup-
port services, the facility network needs to be connected to the internet and some options need
to be set in the network rewall to allow external access. Please advice the facilities network
administrator.
Connect helioCORE to the facility network by plugging in the ethernet cable from the facility’s
network to the “WAN” port as shown below. If the helioCORE is placed in a damp location, the
included sealed connector should be used to ensure a water sealed connection of the ethernet
cable.
