natural_image
Line drawing of a rectangular electronic device with a lid and base, no text or symbols presentSelecting the installation site
When choosing the installation place, bear in mind that the rear of the CAP converter should always be accessible. The CAP converter is equipped with a power saving circuit, which means that the unit does not need to be placed where it is visible. This allows you to install the CAP converter out of sight in any position, e.g. on cabinet walls, side panels or storage shelves.
The four screw holes make it possible to place the CAP converter on a firm horizontal surface but also to screw it on in any desired position.
When choosing the installation place, observe the following:
- The wall thickness of the installation surface must be at least 15 mm, otherwise the screws will come out the back or damage the surface.
- The cabinet or storage compartment in which the device is to be installed must be sufficiently ventilated to prevent heat accumulation. Carpet-covered walls are unsuitable for installation.
- When screwing in the screws, do not damage any cables or similar that are routed behind or in the installation wall.
- The CAP converter is exclusively intended for installation in dry indoor areas.
- The cable lengths must be taken into account when choosing the installation place.
- Strain-relieve the connecting cables.
Connections and fuses
All connecting cables are connected to the rear of the CAP converter. Viewed from the front, there is a fuse inserted from the outside on the left side of the CAP converter. This fuse must also be accessible after installation of the CAP converter so that it can be easily replaced if necessary. For more information about the type of fuse, see the sticker on the CAP converter and the fuse itself.
Ventilation
The heat generated in the CAP converter is dissipated on all sides of the housing. When selecting the installation place, make sure that these sides are not obstructed or covered. If the device is permanently insufficiently ventilated, this may have a negative effect on the service life of the device!
Maintain a clearance of at least 20 cm above/below, 2 cm to each side and 5 cm behind and in front of the device to allow unobstructed heat dissipation.
Material damage to the device during operation due to insufficient ventilation!
The operating temperature is measured by the device. Continuous operation at temperatures higher than the recommended operating temperature may cause premature failure of the device as a result of insufficient ventilation. This is not a warranty or guarantee case!
The CAP converter may only be operated at the recommended operating temperature.
Important notes for installation
Danger to life due to high voltage!
Wood screws may come into contact with live parts and cause danger to life from electric shock.
▶ Never use the wood screws supplied with the CAP converter to install the CAP converter on another electrical appliance (e.g. TV set).
Material damage to the device due to countersunk screws!
▶ Never use countersunk screws for installation.
▶ Use the wood screws supplied with the CAP converter.
