4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION L417M0010EN ‒ 7/9/2019 Passive dust protection The passive dust protection consists of covering strips that seal the openings on the side of the L-417.xx9232B's base body and therefore reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate. Active dust protection The active dust protection consists of a purge air connector on the base body of the L-417.xx9232B, which creates a slight overpressure in the L-417.xx9232B and therefore reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate.
