Installation location and wiring considerations
Cable entries
To conform with protection category requirements, observe the following recommendations:
Do not kink the cables
Provide a water drip point (U bend in cable)
Conduits
The described standard version of ALTOSONIC V is equipped with cable glands for the use of
harmonized cable. In countries where the electrical codes prescribe conduits, the mounted
cable entries shall satisfy the IP protection class, e.g. NEMA 4 or 4X.
Installation and wiring
When electrical codes require conduits, they must be installed in such a manner that the
protection class of the box remains valid. As this equipment is always used in HAZLOC
environment (Ex-zone), stopping boxes shall be used.
Separate conduits shall be used for mains and other wiring.
