trol and regulation of machinery and industrial processes in low-voltage installations in accord-
ance 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 specifi-
cations (see “Technical data”).
Correct and safe operation of the automation system requires qualified project planning, proper
transport, storage, installation and use as well as careful maintenance.
The automation system may only be used within the scope of the information and applications
specified in this documentation and associated user handbooks.
The automation system must only be used as follows:
