Application Planning 3
3.1 Transport
Although the Rack PC has a rugged design, its internal components are sensitive to severe
vibrations or shock. You must therefore protect the PC from severe mechanical stress when
transporting it.
You should always use the original packaging for shipment of the device.
Caution
Risk of damage to the device!
When transporting the PC in cold weather it may be submitted to extreme variations in
temperature. In this situation, make sure that condensation does not develop on or inside
the device.
If condensation develops, wait at least 12 hours before switching on the device.

Application Planning
3.3 Ambient and environmental conditions
When you plan your project, you should make allowances for:
• Note the climatic and mechanical environmental conditions specified in the technical data
in your operating manual.
• Avoid extreme ambient conditions as much as possible. Protect your PC from dust,
moisture, and heat.
• The device has been designed for usage in a normal industrial environment according to
IEC 60721-3-3 (pollutant class 3C2 for chemical influence, 3S2 for sand and dust.)
SIMATIC Rack PCs may not be used in severe operating environments, for example
locations with acidic vapors or gasses, without additional protective measures (such as
the provision of clean air.)
• Keep the PC out of direct sunlight.
• Mount the PC as safely as possible to prevent danger (for example, of falling over).
• The device satisfies protection class IP 30 on the front panel.
• The clearance in the area of the ventilation slots must be at least 50 mm, so that the PC
is sufficiently ventilated.
• Do not cover the vent slots of the device.
• The device enclosure satisfies fire protection requirements to EN 60950. It may therefore
be installed without additional fire-proofing measures.
Warning
If these conditions are not upheld while mounting the system, the approvals according to
UL 60950, EN 60950 are forfeited and there is a danger of overheating and personal
injury.

5.2 Connecting the device to power
Note
The long-range power supply module is designed for operation on 100-240 networks. It is
not necessary to adjust the voltage range.
Warning
Do not connect or disconnect power and data cables during thunderstorms.
Warning
The device is designed for operation on grounded power supply networks (TN systems to
VDE 0100, part 300, or IEC 60364-3).
Operation on ungrounded or impedance-grounded power networks (IT networks) is
prohibited.
Warning
The permitted rated voltage of the device must conform with local mains voltage.
Caution
The mains connector must be disconnected to fully isolate the device from mains. Ensure
easy access to this area.
A master mains disconnect switch must be installed if the device is mounted in a switch
cabinet. Always ensure free and easy access to the power inlet on the device, or that the
safety power outlet of the building installation is freely accessible and located close to the
device.
