ARCA Regler GmbH 7 Assembly This information provides you with important notes on mounting and op- erating the signal box in wet environments (frequent heavy rain and/or persistent tropical condensation) in which protection class IP66 is no longer sufficient, in particular when there is a risk that the water might freeze.
8 Electrical connection ARCA Regler GmbH Electrical connection Basic safety instructions WARNING Inappropriate power supply Risk of explosion in potentially explosive areas in case of inappropriate power supply, e.g. if alternating current is used instead of direct current. ► Connect the device in accordance with the prescribed supply and signal circuits.
Page 29
ARCA Regler GmbH 8 Electrical connection WARNING Improper routing of shielded cables Risk of explosion due to equalisation currents between the potentially explosive area and areas that are not potentially explosive. ► Earth shielded cables leading into the potentially explosive area at one end only.
