4 Mounting

4.1  General instructions

VEGATOR 112 is designed for carrier rail mounting (top hat rail 

35 x 7.5 according to DIN EN 50022/60715). Due to its protection 

rating of IP20, the instrument is suitable for mounting in switching 

cabinets. It can be mounted horizontally and vertically. 

Note:

When several instruments are mounted together without space in 

between, the ambient temperature at the installation location of the 

instrument must not exceed 60 °C. Around the ventilation slots there 

must be a distance of at least 2 cm to the next component.

VEGATOR 112 in Ex version is a corresponding, intrinsically safe in-

strument and must not be installed in hazardous areas. A safe opera

-

tion is only ensured if the operating instructions and EU type approval 

certificate are observed. VEGATOR 112 must not be opened. 

A distance of 50 mm to the intrinsically safe terminals must be en-

sured when mounting.

The instrument is suitable for standard and extended ambient condi-

tions acc. to DIN/EN/IEC/ANSI/ISA/UL/CSA 61010-1.

Make sure that the environmental and ambient conditions specified in 

chapter " 

Technical data

" are maintained.
