The above typical service power selections are for reference
only. Depending on application requirements, surface temperature
rating requirements, and rangeability expectations, alternate power
selections may be recommended. Other intermediate power selec-
tions can be made. Consult installation manual for recommendations
in your service.
Relay Rating

Vac, 240 Vac or 24 Vdc; hermetically sealed relay confi gurations
optionally available.
Electrical Enclosure
Aluminum (epoxy coated) or optional stainless steel. Enclosures are
rated for hazardous location use (Class I and II, Division 1 and 2,
Group B, C, D, E, F and G; and EEx d IIC) and resists the effect of
weather and corrosion (NEMA and CSA Type 4X and equivalent to
IP66).
