3-2-2 Panel/Cabinet Installation

	Consider PC operation, maintenance, and surrounding conditions when instal-
	ling the CPM1A in a panel or cabinet.
Overheating	The operating temperature range for the CPM1A is 0_C to 55_C. Be sure that
	there is adequate ventilation for cooling.
	• Allow enough space for air circulation.
	• Do not install the CPM1A above equipment that generates a large amount of
	heat, such as heaters, transformers, or large resistors.
	• Install a cooling fan or system when the ambient temperature exceeds 55_C.

AccessibilityEnsure that the CPM1A can be accessed for normal operation and mainte- nance.

•Provide a clear path to the CPM1A for operation and maintenance. High-volt- age equipment or power lines could be dangerous if they are in the way during routine operations.

•The PC will be easiest to access if the panel or cabinet is installed about 3 to 5 feet off of the floor.
