➤ The device must only be carried out, fitted, installed, operated, commissioned and main-
tained by trained and qualified personnel.
➤ The device is not specified for a certain application. Make sure that application-specific as-
pects are considered.
➤ Data from other documents, e.g. data sheets, is not valid for functional safety operation. De-
vices must be used in cabinets in an typical industrial field environment only. The following
restrictions describe the operation and storage conditions:
➤ Ensure that the environment complies with the following ratings
Minimum ambient temperature -25 °C
Maximum ambient temperature 70 °C
Minimum storage temperature -40 °C
Maximum storage temperature 80 °C
Maximum air humidity 95 %
Minimum air pressure 80 kPa
Maximum air pressure 110 kPa
➤ The average temperature over a long period of time directly on the exterior sidewall of the
housing must be maximum 40 °C.
➤ The temperature on the exterior sidewall of the housing can deviate considerably from the
temperature in the control cabinet.
➤ The temperature on the exterior sidewall of the housing must be observed in a steady
state.
➤ In case the temperature on the exterior sidewall of the housing is higher, the failure rates
from “5.3 FMEDA results“ on page 8 must be adjusted:
➤ For a higher average temperature of 60 °C on the exterior sidewall of the housing, the fail-
ure rates are multiplied by an experience factor of 2.5.
➤ Ensure that sufficient heat dissipation is provided.
➤ Protect the device from radiated heat and severe temperature fluctuations.
➤ Protect the device from dust, dirt, moisture, shock, vibration, chemical stress, increased radia-
tion and other environmental influences.
➤ Ensure a degree of protection of at least IP20 according to IEC 60529 at the mounting
location.
➤ Ensure that the electromagnetic stress does not exceed the requirements of IEC 61326-3.1.
➤ If there is a visible error, e.g. defective housing, the device must not be used.
➤ During operation of the device, surface temperatures may occur that could lead to burns if
touched.
➤ The device must not be repaired. If problems occur with regard to functional safety, Turck
