INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECTRA INDUSTRIAL PC SYSTEMS
3.2.2 RACK-MOUNT
When installing the IPC in a closed rack unit, the following conditions must be taken into account compared to a
free-standing structure:
-The temperature can be significantly higher due to the enclosed air volume and the additional internals.
-The air flow could be reduced.
-Depending on the direction and performance, fans of the surrounding devices can impair the air flow of the
Industrial PC.
3.2.3 POWER SUPPLY
Only use mains supply cables that are sufficiently dimensioned and approved for the specified
rated current. Please refer to the nameplate and data sheet.
The power supply must be protected with an overcurrent fuse of max. 16 A. The mains plug
must be connected to the mains. The mains plug must be easily accessible at all times.
Only use power supplies and supply cables with a protective conductor connection.
Use the supplied accessories. Do not open, modify or repair the power supply unit or its cables.
Operate the device only within the permissible voltage range. Ensure that the polarity is correct.
Disconnecting the device from the power supply when it is switched on can cause damage to the device.
When installing the device in other products, avoid ground loops to prevent damage to the device.
3.3 COMMISIONING
The use of the product requires specialist knowledge. Ensure that the product is only operated by qualified person-
nel or appropriately trained personnel.
