How to Prepare for Installation of SSTB153012-316

This guide outlines essential safety and environmental considerations for the installation of SSTB153012-316, based on provided warnings, and includes a general preparation step.

Estimated time: 10m

Supplies needed:

Floor plate (if mounting on combustible surface)

  1. Review Mounting Surface Requirements

    Before mounting SSTB153012-316, assess the surface. If mounting on or over a combustible surface, a floor plate of at least 1.43 mm galvanized or 1.6 mm uncoated steel must be installed. This plate must extend at least 150 mm beyond the equipment on all sides to prevent fire hazards.

  2. Ensure Enclosure Environmental Integrity

    When customizing the enclosure or closing any openings, use only devices with environmental ratings identical to SSTB153012-316 to maintain the enclosure's specified environmental integrity.

  3. Inspect Device and Gather Materials

    Before proceeding with installation, carefully unpack and inspect the SSTB153012-316 for any shipping damage. Ensure all necessary tools and supplies, including any required floor plate, are readily available.
