Heat Management

Proper thermal management is critical for the reliable performance of the Tricon system:

For Vented and Non-Vented Enclosures:
- Use baffles (Triconex Part Number 2000361-001).
For High Temperatures (>122°F or 50°C):
- Implement advanced cooling solutions such as:
  - Louvers and pagoda tops.
  - Enlarged louvers with raised pagoda tops.
  - Low-density filters for enhanced airflow.
  - Redundant fans operating continuously, integrated with appropriate louvers and pagoda tops.
- Integrate failure detection circuitry for proactive thermal management.
