3.1 pERMISSIBLE AMBIENT CONDITION
Protection degree:
IP 20 at operating temperatures of 32-131° F (0 ... 55° C).
UL enclosure type 1.
(American size) The converter must be installed in a pollution degree
2 environment.
Altitude:
Up to 3300 feet (1000 m) above sea level; higher altitudes a current
reduction of 1.2 % for every 330 feet (100 m) of additional altitude.
Temperature :
Operation
Ambient temperature = 32-131° F (0 ... 55° C).
Over 104° F (40 °C): current reduction of 1.25 % for every 1.8 ° F over
104° F (1 °C over 40 °C) better than the 3K3 class per EN 50178)
Storage
Ambient temperature = -13° F ... 131° F (-25 ... +55° C)
(1K4 class as per EN 50178)
Ambient temperature = -4° F ... 131° F (-20 ... +55° C) for devices
with keypad (type DV-300)
Transport
Ambient temperature = -13° F ... 131° F (-25 ... +55° C)
(2K3 class as per EN 50178)
Ambient temperature = -4° F ... 140° F (-20 ... +60° C) for devices with
keypad (type DV-300)
Air humidity:
Operation
5% up to 85%, 1 g/m
3
up to 25 g/m
3
without moisture condensation or icing
(3K3 class as per EN 50178)
Storage
5% up to 95%, 1 g/m

(1K3 class as per EN 50178)
Transport
95% 1)
60 g/m 2)
A light condensation of moisture may occur for a short time
occasionally when the device is not in operation.
(2K3 class as per EN 50178)
Air pressure:
Operation
From 86 kPa up to 106 kPa ( 3K3 class per EN 50178 )
Storage
From 86 kPa up to 106 kPa ( 1K4 class per EN 50178 )
Transport
From 70 kPa up to 106 kPa ( 2K3 class per EN 50178 )
1)
Greatest relative air humidity occurs with the temperature 104° F (40° C) or if the temperature of the device is brought immedi-
ately from -13° F ... 86° F (-25° C to +30° C).
2)
Greatest absolute air humidity if the device is brought immediately from 158° F ... 59° F (70° C to +15° C).
