MaticBox4 Manual

-5- Adding a 25*25mm fan directly into the case body
Most fans can also be attached directly into the case body. Just click the fan into the space above the board’s
processor. Note that this option leaves enough space for an add-on board above the fan. This is applicable when
there is a hat or automation board on top.
-6- Low Profile Cover:
Use the low-profile cover to achieve a minimum overall height.
It still provides space for a thin add-on board and a fan.
Ventilation slots at the top ensure great air circulation.
-7- Automation cover and removable automation screen
The automation cover provides plenty of space within the enclosure (2)
to host add-on boards with large elements – relays, connectors etc. There
is a large opening on the side, which provides access to relay terminals
and space for larger cables. If not needed, the space can be covered with
the provided automation screen (4). The opening size is large enough for
8 standard terminals, or anything else of the same size. Note the notches
on the inside of the screen which make it easy to break away sections so
that only part of the space is covered. This provides a nice clean look to
the case.
-8- Bolting components together
Due to its well though-out design, MaticBox components snap together well and hold the
Raspberry Pi board securely in typical use case scenarios. Still, in applications where you might
expect strong vibrations or pulling forces applied to the case, you can further secure the entire
assembly with screws through the provided holes in the four corners of the body.
If you have a HAT, display or other type of automation board on top, you can use longer screws to
that go through the HAT, the case body, Raspberry Pi board and will screw into the case’s base.
This will fasten the entire solution together using standard screws: from 2.2mm x 19mm to 2.9mm
x 19mm. (standard DIN7981F). The same screws can be used if you want to bolt together only the
Raspberry Pi to the body and the base.
Or you can attach only the HAT itself to the MaticBox body. This way, when you detach MaticBox’s
body from the base, the hat will remain firmly attached to the case. Standard screws can be used: 3.5mm x 6.5mm. (standard DIN7981F)
