Restrictions of use

The following applications are prohibited unless the device is explicitly designed for such use:

  • Use in potentially explosive areas.
  • Use in areas exposed to harmful oils, acids, gases, vapors, dust, and radiation.
  • Operation in applications with impermissibly high mechanical vibration and shock loads in excess of the regulations stipulated in EN 61800-5-1.
  • Use at an elevation of more than 3800 m above sea level.

The product can be used at altitudes above 1000 m above sea level up to 3800 m above sea level under the following conditions:

  • The reduction of the nominal output current and/or the line voltage is considered according to the data in chapter Technical data in the documentation.
  • Above 2000 m above sea level, the air and creepage distances are only sufficient for overvoltage class II according to EN 60664. At altitudes above 2000 m above sea level, limiting measures must therefore be taken that reduce the line side overvoltage from category III to category II for the entire system.
  • If a protective electrical separation (in accordance with EN 61800‑5‑1 and EN 60204‑1) is required, then implement this outside the product at altitudes of more than 2000 m above sea level.
