and regulation of machinery and industrial processes in low-voltage installations in accordance with the
following basic conditions:
→
Maximum rated supply voltage of 1,000 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 1,500 V DC
→
For use in an environment with max. category 2 level of pollution (EN 60950)
→
For use in a maximum altitude of 2,000 m a.s.l.
→
For indoor use in areas not exposed to direct UV radiation
→
Max. ambient temperature inside and outside the control cabinet according to the technical spec-
ifications (see “Technical data”).
