Application Notes
5. Application Notes
The Ethernet ports are fitted with overvoltage discharge protection. Internal varistors limit voltage surges to
approx 70 V. The connecting cables of the digital I/O ports must not be longer than 30 m.
6. Mounting Instructions
When mounting and operating the switches, the corresponding electrical and mechanical regulations, stan-
dards and safety rules must be observed. The switch must be protected against mechanical influences. The
product must be fastened in such a way that the mounting position cannot change. The switch is designed for
use in the industrial sector. The industrial environment is characterized in that consumers are not connected
directly to the public low-voltage mains network. Additional measures must be taken for use in the residential
sector, business and commercial sectors.
