Installation Requirements

This section gives installation requirements and guidance on how ModuCop has to be installed to enable proper and safe operation.

Electrical Installation Requirements

External Fuse

Do not use ModuCop without an EXTERNAL FUSE! If you are unsure, which fuse type and characteristics to choose, contact Ci4Rail.

The following table describes the requirements to the fuse depending on the nominal input voltage of your power system.

Nominal Voltage	Required Fuse
24V DC	2.5A medium time-lag
36V DC	1.6A medium time-lag
110V DC	1A medium time-lag

Earthing

ModuCop is a protection class I device (protective earth).

It is mandatory to connect protective earth first and disconnect last for any installation action!

Use proper components and cable equipment to establish a safe and stable earth connection.

Protective earth bolt is located on the front of installed power supply unit.

Mechanical Installation Requirements

To benefit from all ModuCop features, proper mounting in permanent vehicle installation is essential.

Please use Ci4Rail’s accessories for mounting

Mounting Orientation

When mounted in wall or DIN rail assembly, the following mounting orientations are possible:

Horizontal Mounting

Vertical Mounting

In order to enable proper heat dissipation, the Edge Computer shall be mounted horizontally with a maximum tilt in the direction of the connector front of 30°.

Please avoid mounting which prevents heat dissipation!

Keep Free Areas

Since ModuCop is completely passively cooled, the installation must allow for natural air convection through clearances with specific distances to adjacent equipment.

Keep free areas apply to any mounting option

The following figures show clearence areas:

• Top & bottom areas to be kept free from further installations

  

  

• Left & right areas to be kept free from further installations

  

For details please refer to Installation Guide.
