1.4 Mechanical and Ambient Climatic Conditions for
Operating the S7-400/M7-400
Operating Conditions
The S7-400/M7-400 is designed for weather-protected use as a permanent
installation. The S7-400/M7-400 fulfills the requirements for use in accordance with
IEC 60721-3-3:
• Class 3M3 (mechanical requirements)
• Class 3K3 (ambient climatic conditions)
Use with Additional Measures
The S7-400/M7-400, for example, must not be used without taking additional
measures:
• In locations exposed to a high degree of ionizing radiation
• In hostile environments caused, for instance, by
– Dust accumulation
– Corrosive vapors or gases
– Strong electric or magnetic fields
• In installations requiring special monitoring, for example
– Elevators
– Electrical installations in particularly hazardous areas
An additional measure might be, for instance, installation of the S7-400/M7-400 in
a cabinet or in a housing.
