Max. Surface Temperature and Temperature Class
The temperature marking on the name plate refers to the instruction manual.
On the following tables the relevant temperature ratings are shown.
The maximum surface temperature (resp. temperature class) is the warmest temperature of the unit which could occur during
malfunction (according to Ex-definition).
The data tables are valid, when it can
be guaranteed during installation that
the screwed connection has a maximum
temperature of 80°C (176°F) during
normal use.
