DANGER
Caution: damaged product
Putting a damaged product into operation can
be extremely hazardous.
In case of visible damage make sure the
product is not 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 TPG 300 can be installed in a 19" rack, a control
panel or operated as a desk top unit.
The TPG 300 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
Caution: protection category of the rack
If the product is installed in a rack, it is likely
to lower the protection category of the rack
(protection against foreign bodies and water)
e.g. the EN 60204-1 regulations for switch
cabinets.
Take appropriate measures for the rack to
meet the specifications of the protection
category.
4.1 Installation
4.1.1 Rack Installation

14 BG 805 970 BE (0306) TPG 300.oi
Install rack chassis adapter in rack cabinet and slide
TPG 300 into the adapter. Secure TPG 300 with the
screws supplied with it.
Height 3U
M2.5
The temperature inside the rack must not
exeed the maximum admissible temperature
(→10).
DANGER
Caution: protection category of the control
panel
If the product is installed in a rack, it is likely
to lower the protection category of the rack
(protection against foreign bodies and water)
e.g. the EN 60204-1 regulations for switch
cabinets.
Take appropriate measures for the control
panel to meet the specifications of the pro-
tection category.

4.1.2 Installation in a
Control Panel

BG 805 970 BE (0306) TPG 300.oi 15
For mounting the TPG 300 into a control panel, the
following cut-out is required:
M2.5 ... M3 or ø3 ... 3.5

For reducing the mechanical strain on the front panel,
preferably support the unit.
Slide the TPG 300 into the cut-out of the control panel
and secure it with four M2.5 … M3 (or equivalent)
screws.
The temperature inside the cabinet must not
exeed the maximum admissible temperature
(→10).

16 BG 805 970 BE (0306) TPG 300.oi
The TPG 300 is also suited for use as desk-top unit. For
this purpose, a conversion kit is available (→71).
nPush the eight press nuts supplied with the kit into
the appropriate holes in the side panels.

oFit slotted Cover and secure it with the screws
supplied.
pMount folding stands and rubber feet onto angle
profiles.

18 BG 805 970 BE (0306) TPG 300.oi
qTurn over the TPG 300 and fix both angle profiles
to the TPG 300 side panels as shown.
Used as a desk top unit, the temperature inside
the cabinet must not exceed the maximum ad-
missible temperature due to the influence of
external heat sources (→10).

BG 805 970 BE (0306) TPG 300.oi 19
DANGER
Caution: line voltage
Incorrectly grounded products can be ex-
tremely hazardous in the event of a fault.
Use only a 3-conductor power cable with pro-
tective ground. The power connector may
only be plugged into a socket with a protec-
tive ground. The protection must not be nulli-
fied by an extension cable without protective
ground.
DANGER
No mains line fuse
The TPG 300 has no fuses accessible by the
end user.
The line power socket for the TPG 300 has to
be fused with max. 10 A.
DANGER
Grounding screw for internal protective
ground
The internal protective ground is connected to
the TPG 300 power supply rear panel with a
grounding screw.
Do not turn or loosen grounding screw.
