the device is mounted on a flat base, the connection area is protected so that the entire system has
IP65
3.4.2. Temperature
The device has an approved temperature range of - 20 ° C to + 70 ° C.
A heater is not necessary for outdoor use.
Due to the inherent heat of the electronics and power supply, the temperatures in the unit are higher
even at ambient temperatures below -20 ° C.
Condensation water only occurs when a cold object comes into the heat and would therefore only
be an issue for mobile devices.
We recommand, if you use the devices outsite, then let it running permanently. Both in terms of
temperature as well as condensation, it is recommended to not switch off devices which are used
outdoors.
