01.00 | EGI | Assembly and Operating Manual | en | 1396645
According to DIN EN 60068-2-6 and DIN EN 60068-2-27, in
accordance with EN 60721-3-2 and EN 60721-3-3, the product was
subjected to a vibration and shock inspection during transport and
in operation with respect to the ambient influences and
withstands the required loads.
The product may only be used in the following locations if
additional measures are taken:
• In locations with a high level of ionizing radiation
• In locations with difficult operating conditions, e.g. due to
caustic fumes, gases, oils or chemicals
• In facilities requiring special monitoring, e.g. in particularly at-
risk areas
• In applications during which the product is exposed to
unacceptably severe knocking or vibrations Suitable measures
must be taken to reduce the amplitude or acceleration of such
disturbances. Vibration-damping or vibration-absorbing systems
are to be used in such cases.
The product must also not be used in potentially explosive zones.
2.6.2 Insulation resistance and voltage resistance in accordance with
EN 60204-1
When measuring the insulation resistance and inspecting the
voltage resistance of the machine/automated system, observe the
following information in order to protect the product from
damage:
• The electronics are connected to the housing ground, in order
to protect against overvoltage.
• For measurements of the insulation resistance in accordance
with EN 60204-1, no voltage levels above the permitted
operating voltage range may be used. In addition, the maximum
measuring current must be safely limited to values below 10mA.
• Before testing the voltage resistance of the machine/automated
system in accordance with EN 60204-1, disconnect the product
from the electric circuits to be tested. This applies to all
connections on the product:
– positive and negative connections of the power and logic
supply
– Fieldbus connections
