4.1 Important notes on using the device
Suitable cables at high ambient temperatures in hazardous area
Use heat-resistant cables with an ambient temperature ≥ 60 °C; these cables must be rated
for an ambient temperature that is at least 20 °C higher. The cable entries used on the
housing must comply with the IP degree of protection required by EN IEC 60079-0 /
GB 3836.1.
Transient overvoltages
Take measures to prevent transient overvoltages of more than 40% of the rated voltage (or
more than 119 V). This is the case if you only operate devices with SELV (safety extra-low
voltage).
