tremely hazardous. If the product is visibly damaged do not put it into
operation and make sure it is not inadvertently put into operation.
Skilled personnel
The unit may only be installed by persons who have suitable technical
training and the necessary experience or who have been instructed by
the end-user of the product.
The TPG300 can be installed in a 19" rack, a control panel or operated as a desk
top unit.
The TPG300 is designed for installation in a 19" rack frame, built according to the
DIN 41 494 standard (screws and plastic parts are supplied with it).
DANGER
DANGER: protection class of the rack
If the product is installed in a rack, it is likely to lower the protection
class of the rack (protection against foreign bodies and water) e.g.
according to the EN 60204-1 regulations for switching cabinets.
Take appropriate measures for the rack to meet the specifications of
the protection class.
Install rack chassis adapter in rack cabinet and slide TPG300 into the adapter.
Secure TPG300 with the screws supplied with it.
The temperature inside the rack must not exeed the maximum
admissible temperature (→8).
