Considerations for Choosing a Mounting Location

For compliance to NEMA 4 and 4x rating, the unit must be mounted to the
flat surface of comparably NEMA rated (IP66 equivalent) panel or
enclosure.

For compliance to ATEX Directive and Class I Zone 2 hazardous locations,
the unit must be mounted in an IP66 enclosure. For ATEX applications a
minimum panel thickness of 0.1" (2.54mm) is recommended.

For adequate ventilation, allow at least 3 inches of space between adjacent
equipment and all sides of the QuickPanel. Ensure that specified conditions
of temperature and humidity are not exceeded.

In outdoor applications, direct sun exposure may impose increased thermal
loads on the QuickPanel leading to excessive temperature increases.
Cabinet design and orientation must be carefully considered to avoid
exceeding the operational temperature limits. These considerations could
include shading for the QuickPanel and its cabinet with awnings or other
solar opaque materials, avoiding a due East or West facing of the cabinet,
providing ventilation or active cooling of the cabinet, or other methods.
