An excessively polluted surface of the device can become conductive and consequently ignite
a surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere.
Ensure that you install the device only in environments with a pollution degree 2 or better
according to IEC/EN 60664–1.
Danger!
Explosion hazard from exposure to potentially explosive gas atmosphere
If the device is installed in Zone 2 without mounting it in a sufficiently suitable enclosure, gas,
dust, water or other external interferences can cause the live device to spark. The sparks can
ignite the surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere.
Only mount the device in an enclosure with degree of protection IP54 according to
IEC/EN 60529. The enclosure must have an EU declaration of conformity according to the
ATEX Directive for at least equipment category 3G.
