The Yellow label, S14 shown above in regular-package units are for office and wiring
closet environments, uses an external AC power supply. A metal case with convection
cooling is featured. Operation may be in 0° to 50°C ambient temperature. The units can be
mounted securely on a closet wall or metal cabinet, or by using the metal panel mounting
clips included.
The orange-label Magnum S14H as shown above in Fig 2.2c, are
hardened units designed for factory floor and other industrial applications. The S14H
models are built with high-grade components and use special thermal techniques and a
rugged metal case for extended temperature industrial applications. The S14H Hardened
unit features a sealed metal case which is also used as a heat sink. No air inflow is required
for cooling, so the S14H resists dust, dirt, moisture, smoke and insects, and is above-the-
ceiling (plenum) rated. Choices of models for external AC or internal DC power are
