For operation the device is intended to be installed within an enclosure/control cabinet. The
inner temperature of the enclosure/control cabinet corresponds to the ambient temperature of
the device. Use cables with a permitted maximum operating temperature of at least 90 ℃ for
power supply, functional grounding and signaling contact and of at least 75 °C for data cables.
Wall mounting outside of the control cabinet or housing does not fulfill the requirements of the
FM approval.
Wall mounting is only permitted if the requirements for the housing, the installation
regulations, the clearance and separating regulations for the control cabinets or housings are
adhered to. The control cabinet cover or housing must be secured so that it can only be opened
with a tool. An appropriate strain-relief assembly for the cable must be used.
