3. Mounting
3.1 Location Planning
When planning the mounting location of the SPiiPlusEC, take into account the following:
> unit dimensions (158 x 45 x 124 mm (6.22 x 1.771 x 4.881 in) - see " SPiiPlusEC Dimensions and
Mounting Preparation Diagram" below.
> sufficient clearance of 25 millimeters on all open sides for cable routing and free air flow.
> the SPiiPlusEC operates in a temperature range of 0-50⁰C.
> a 10 CFM velocity-controlled fan in the unit starts operating when the ambient
temperature exceeds 28⁰C.

This section describes how to interface with the SPiiPlusEC while following proper safety, EMC and
wiring guidelines.
The SPiiPlusEC is not intended for use in safety-critical applications (such as life
supporting devices) where a failure of the SPiiPlusEC can lead to severe personal injury
or death.
