4.3
Installing the enclosure outdoors
The enclosure should have at least IP56 protection when installing outdoors. This prevents
damaging amounts of dirt or water from penetrating the enclosure under normal ambient
conditions. Take the following additional protective measures depending on the environment
of the installation location:
●
Avoid subjecting the enclosure permanently to water (for example, snow).
●
Remember that direct sunlight can cause excessive temperatures in the interior of the
enclosure. In locations where this can occur, provide additional protection with some form
of roofing.
●
Note that opening the enclosure at ambient temperatures below 0 °C can damage the
seal as a result of freezing.
●
Condensation may be produced within the enclosure due to temperature variations.
Climate nozzles are therefore installed to permit drainage and pressure compensation.
Ensure when mounting the enclosure that the climate nozzles are at the lowest position.
●
If you want to use the device in an aggressive environment, check whether this is
possible with the material in question.
