Installation of OITs
CE Com pli ance
The Silver Plus Series OITs have been tested to conform to European CE requirements per
Council Directive 89/336/EEC. The European Union created these requirements to ensure
conformity among products traded in those countries. Specifically, the Silver Plus Series
OITs meet or exceed the noise emissions and immunity requirements as set forth in the
EN50081 (Emissions) and EN50082 (Immunity) standards. These products are designed to
withstand electrical noise in harsh industrial environments. They also conform to
requirements that limit electrical emissions. However, this does not guarantee that the
products will be totally immune from possible malfunction in cases where severe electrical
noise occurs. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines outlined in
this chapter for proper wire routing and grounding to insure the proper operation of the Silver
Plus Series OIT.
NEMA Rat ing
The Silver Plus Series OITs are rated for NEMA 4/12 (indoor) or IP65 installations. This
means that when the OIT is properly mounted to a panel or other enclosure, the front
enclosure of the OIT will provide protection to the inside of the panel from splashing water,
wind blown dust, rain, or hose-directed water. The OIT must be installed according to the
instructions in this manual to be properly sealed.
En vi ron men tal Con sid er ations
The Silver Plus Series is designed to operate in temperatures from 0-45° C. It is intended for
indoor installations and not designed for outdoor applications. Avoid installing the Silver
Plus Series in environments with severe mechanical vibration or shocks. Do not install the
OIT in enclosures with rapid temperature variations or high humidity. Either will cause
condensation of water inside the device and eventual damage to the OIT.
Safety Pre cau tions
Please observe the following precautions when installing the Silver Plus Series OIT. Failure
to comply with these restrictions could result in loss of life, serious personal injury, or
equipment damage.
Warning:
Do not operate the OIT in areas subject to explosion due to flammable gases,
vapors, or dusts.
Warning:
Do not connect the OIT to an AC power source. You will cause permanent
damage to the OIT.
