Indoor use
Devices with this symbol are intended solely for
indoor use.
SSwitched-mode power supply (electrical)
A switched-mode power supply converts an
unstable input voltage to a constant output
voltage.
Energy efficiency level VI
Energy efficiency levels are used to describe the
efficiency levels of internal and external power
supply units. Energy efficiency is sub-divided into
a number of categories, where Level VI is the most
efficient.
Transformer – short circuit proof
Transformer in which the temperature does
not exceed specified limits if the transformer
is overloaded or short-circuited, and which
continues to meet all the requirements contained
in the relevant standard once the overload or
short circuit has been rectified.
Protection class III
Electrical appliances in protection class III are
electrical appliances built for operation with
safety extra-low voltage that have neither internal
nor external electricity circuits which work with
a different voltage other than safety extra-low
voltage. The maximum rated voltage for the safety
extra-low voltage between the conductors and
between the conductors and the earth is 42 V.

About these operating instructions
10
In the case of three-phase alternating current, the
maximum rated voltage between the conductors
and the neutral conductor is 24 V. The maximum
off-load voltage must not exceed 50 V. The safety
extra-low voltage may only be supplied via a
safety transformer or a transformer with separate
windings.
Dispose of the device in compliance with
environmental regulations (see “Disposal” on
page 28)
IP20 Protection class IP20 means:
• Protection against solid foreign objects with
a diameter of more than 12.5 mm
• Protection against access by fingers
• No protection against water penetration
