Installation and Maintenance
Installation Guide
Cut-out Preparation: Prepare a precise rectangular aperture in the control cabinet door or console panel matching the specified mechanical dimensions of the CP6202 front plate.
Mounting: Insert the unit from the front. Secure the Panel PC using the integrated clamping levers tightened carefully from the rear to ensure an even seal and achieve the IP65 rating against the mounting frame.
Clearance Note: Leave a minimum clearance of at least $2\text{ cm}$ behind the rear speed-regulated fan cartridge to ensure unhindered airflow and heat dissipation.
Wiring: Connect a clean, regulated $24\text{ V DC}$ power feed and implement proper ch
