Panel Setup Procedure
Stage |
Description |
---|---|
1 |
Check that the installation panel or cabinet’s surface is flat, in good condition, and has no jagged edges. Metal reinforcing strips can be attached to the inside of the panel, near the panel opening, to increase the panel’s rigidity. |
2 |
Panel thickness should be from 0.8 to 6 mm (0.03 to 0.23 in.). |
3 |
Verify that the ambient operation temperature and the ambient humidity are within their designated ranges. (When installing the LTMCU in a cabinet or enclosure, the ambient operation temperature is the cabinet or enclosure’s internal temperature.) |
4 |
Verify that heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the LTMCU to exceed its standard operating temperature. |
5 |
When installing the LTMCU in a slanted panel, and the panel face inclines more than 30°, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). |
