8 Base Unit Installation and Operating Conditions
This section describes the specifications of the MP3200iec Series Machine Controllers.
Install the MP3200iec Series Controllers in an environment with the following conditions.

Control Panel Cooling Method
The components that are used in the Machine Controller require the ambient operating temperature to be between 0 and
55°C. Use one of the methods described below to ensure adequate cooling in the control panel.
Note: If the ambient temperature exceeds 50°C, we recommend forced-air cooling.
Control Panels with Natural Cooling
• Do not mount the Machine Controller at the top of the control panel, where the hot air that is generated inside the panel
collects.
• Leave sufficient space above and below the Units, and maintain adequate distances from other devices, cable ducts, and
other objects to ensure suitable air circulation.
• Do not mount the Controller in any direction other than the specified direction.
• Do not mount the Controller on top of any device that generates a significant amount of heat.
• Do not subject the Controller to direct sunlight.
Control Panels with Forced-air Cooling
Use one of the following methods to ensure 0.03 m 3 /min average airflow below the CPU Unit.
• Forced draft method (A fan or a similar device is used to circulate the air in the interior and the exterior of the panel.)
• Forced circulation method (A fan or a similar device is mounted to the airtight panel to circulate the air inside.)
Note: Use the following guideline when selecting the fan: CPU Unit’s resistance to air flow: 6 x 10 6 (N×s 2 /m 8 )
