How to Safely Prepare for SSTB305012-316 Installation

This guide outlines critical safety precautions and requirements for preparing the mounting surface and maintaining enclosure integrity during the installation of SSTB305012-316.

Estimated time: 0m

  1. Prepare Combustible Mounting Surfaces

    If mounting SSTB305012-316 on or over a combustible surface, install a floor plate of at least 1.43 mm galvanized steel or 1.6 mm uncoated steel. Ensure this plate extends at least 150 mm beyond the equipment on all sides.

  2. Verify Floor Plate Dimensions (if applicable)

    For installations on combustible surfaces, verify that the installed floor plate meets the minimum dimensions: at least 1.43 mm galvanized or 1.6 mm uncoated steel, extending 150 mm beyond the SSTB305012-316 on all sides.

  3. Maintain Enclosure Environmental Rating

    When closing openings or customizing the enclosure for SSTB305012-316, use only devices that possess the same environmental ratings as the main enclosure to preserve its integrity.
