2-2 Installation and Wiring

General Considerations

The modules are suitable for use in a commercial or light industrial
environment when installed in accordance with these instructions.
Specifically, this equipment is intended for use in clean, dry

environments (Pollution degree 2

(1)

) and to circuits not exceeding

Over Voltage Category II

(2)

(IEC 60664-1)

(3)

.

Hazardous Location Considerations

This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, D or non-hazardous locations only. The following WARNING
statement applies to use in hazardous locations.

(1)

Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where, normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs except that
occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.

(2)

Over Voltage Category II is the load level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level transient
voltages are controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insulation.

(3)

Pollution Degree 2 and Over Voltage Category II are International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
designations.
