Location of Installation
Ensure that temperatures, contaminations, impact, vibration or electromagnetic interference are no
impediment to the installation.
Temperature
Consider heat sources such as general heating of rooms, sunlight, heat accumulation in assembly rooms or
control cabinets.
Contamination
Use suitable casings to avoid possible negative influences due to humidity, corrosive gas, liquid or
conducting dust.
Impact and Vibration
Consider possible influences caused by motors, compressors, transfer lines, presses, ramming machines
and vehicles.
Electromagnetic Interference
Consider electromagnetic interference from various local sources: motors, switching devices, switching
thyristors, radio-controlled devices, welding equipment, arcing, switched-mode power supplies, converters /
inverters.
Particular Sources of Interference
Inductive Actuators
Switching off inductances (such as from relays, contactors, solenoids or switching magnets)
produces surge voltages. It is necessary to reduce these extra voltages to a minimum.
Throttling elements could be diodes, Z-diodes, varistors or RC elements. Their rating should
conform to the specifications provided by the manufacturer or supplier of the actuators.
