Commissioning
Before commissioning, ensure the following:
• Check the mounting and installation.
• Device must not be damaged.
• If necessary, remove foreign bodies.
• Check if all screws and nuts have been tightened firmly.

Operation
• In the case of closed enclosures, fluctuations in temperature can cause pressure
differences between the inside of the enclosure and the atmosphere around
the enclosure. The breather safely compensates for these pressure differences.
• The breather reduces the vacuum effect, which prevents water, dust and dirt
from reaching the inside of the enclosure via the sealing systems. Less water or
moisture in the enclosure means that less condensate is formed.
• Existing condensate collects at the lowest point in the enclosure. If the breather
is installed correctly, the condensate can drain via the breather.
