12 Commissioning and Maintenance
In order to avoid injuries and damage caused by direct or indirect contact with hot surfaces the
following instructions must be observed:
BRICK CORE COM must be positioned and installed in a maintenance area or in an operating
facility of limited access.
The users having permission to enter the maintenance area or the operating facility must have
received adequate instructions regarding the risks.
Important instructions!
For positioning and installation or removal of the BRICK CORE COM System, please observe
the relevant instructions given in this user manual.
The device must only be positioned and installed by maintenance personnel responsible in this
area (that is familiar with the associated risks).
The device can be operated in all positions except with the upper side downwards.
In order to avoid overheating of the platform, keep a distance of at least 100 mm to the upper
cooling fins of the chassis (passively cooled variant).
In case of installation in a housing (e.g. a control cabinet): The housing (control cabinet) must
have enough space for the BRICK CORE COM System and the corresponding spaces for air
circulation and cable connections. Moreover, the housing must have sufficient, possibly active,
ventilation to avoid overheating.
The cooling fins and the inlet and discharge openings of the housing must not be blocked
(covered).
Initial commissioning
1. Connect the DC supply cable of the power supply unit to the rear side (1) of the BRICK CORE COM
system.
