Mechanical and Climatic Environmental Conditions

Conditions of Use
The F-modules are intended for use as stationary installations in sheltered locations. The
conditions of use surpass the requirements in accordance with IEC 61131-2.
Fail-safe modules comply with conditions of use Class 3C3 in accordance with DIN EN
60721 3-3 (use in locations with heavy traffic and in the immediate vicinity of industrial
systems with chemical emissions).
Restrictions
F-modules cannot be implemented without additional measures being taken:
● In locations with a high level of ionizing radiation
● In locations with severe operating conditions, due for example to:
● In systems which require special monitoring, such as:
An additional measure for the implementation of fail-safe modules can be installing the
ET 200S in cabinets, for example.
