Mechanical and climatic environmental conditions
Operating conditions
SIMOTION P is designed for use in a stationary, weather-protected installation. Operating
conditions surpass EN 61131-2 requirements.
SIMOTION P satisfies the operating conditions for Class 3C3 in accordance with
EN 60721-3-3 (locations of use with high traffic densities and in the immediate vicinity of
industrial installations with chemical emissions).
When you plan your project, you should make allowances for:
●
Observe the climatic and mechanical environmental conditions in the technical data in
your Operating Instructions.
●
The clearance in the area of the ventilation slots must be at least 100 mm, so that the PC
is sufficiently ventilated.
●
Do not cover the ventilation slots of the device.
●
Since the device with DC power supply does not satisfy fire protection requirements to
EN 60950 in the power supply connection area, the installation must meet the
requirements expected of fire protection housings in this area.
●
Always observe the mounting positions permitted for this device.
WARNING
Failure to adhere to these conditions when installing the system will invalidate approval
to UL 60950, UL 508, and EN 60950!
Use prohibition
SIMOTION P must not be used in the following locations without additional measures being
taken:
●
Locations with a high percentage of ionizing radiation
●
Aggressive environments characterized, for example, by:
–
Dust accumulation
–
Corrosive vapors or gases
●
Installations requiring special monitoring such as:
–
Elevator installations
–
Electrical plants in particularly hazardous areas
An additional measure for using SIMOTION P can, for example, be installation in cabinets.
