Special conditions for safe use

SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
The 'X' suffix to the certificate number relates to the following special condition(s) for safe
use:
● Parts of the enclosure may be non-conducting and may generate an ignitioncapable level
of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that the
equipment is not installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions
(such as high-pressure steam), which might cause a build-up of electrostatic charge on
non-conducting surfaces.
● The end user must ensure that an ingress protection of at least IP65 is maintained at
each entry to the enclosure by use of a blanking element or cable entry device that meets
the requirements of the protection concepts type 'n' or increased safety 'e' or flameproof
'd'.
● The supply to the equipment shall be rated for a prospective short-circuit current of not
more than 10 kA and shall be protected by a suitably-rated fuse.
