• Moisture and dust (pay attention to the degree of protection)
• Flammable gases, vapours and solvents not covered by the type of pro-
tection for the device
• Too high ambient temperatures (> +55°C)
• Too low ambient temperatures (< -20°C)
– During operation of the device the temperature must not exceed nor fall below the
prescribed range of ambient temperatures. It is not allowed to operate the device with
an additional cover.
– Make sure the wiring is voltage-free upon connecting or disconnecting the wires in the
terminal room.
– If electrical connections must be carried through in the hazardous area, the enclosure
must be opened and closed as follows:
• Remove voltage from the device.
• Loosen the fastening screws from the keypad insert
• Remove the keypad insert and unfasten the keypad cable
• Make the connections while the device is open
