A.1 MP3200 Installation and Usage ConditionsA.1.1 Environmental ConditionsA-2A.1 MP3200 Installation and Usage ConditionsInstall the MP3200 Controller in an environment with the following conditions.A.1.1 Environmental ConditionsControl Panel Cooling MethodThe components that are used in the MP3200 require the ambient operating temperature to bebetween 0 and 55°C. Use one of the methods described below to ensure adequate cooling inthe control panel. Control Panels with Natural Cooling• Do not mount the MP3200 at the top of the control panel, where the hot air that is generatedinside the panel collects.• Leave sufficient space above and below the MP3200, and maintain adequate distances fromother devices, cable ducts, and other objects to ensure suitable air circulation.• Do not mount the Machine Controller in any direction other than the specified direction.• Do not mount the Machine Controller on top of any device that generates a significantamount of heat.• Do not subject the Machine Controller to direct sunlight.Item SpecificationAmbient Operating Tempera-ture 0 to 55°CAmbient Storage Temperature −25 to 85°CAmbient Operating Humidity 30% to 95% RH (with no condensation)Ambient Storage Humidity 5% to 95% RH (with no condensation)Pollution Degree Conforms to JIS B 3502 Pollution Degree 2.Corrosive Gases There must be no combustible or corrosive gases.Operating Altitude 2,000 m max.• If the ambient temperature exceeds 50°C, we recommend forced-air cooling.• The CPU-202 is force-cooled with a built-in fan.Note
