Environmental Characteristics

Enclosure Requirements

TM3 safety module components are designed as Zone B, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. If they are used in environments other than those described in these standards, or in environments that do not meet the specifications in this manual the ability to meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the presence of conducted and/or radiated interference may be reduced.

All TM3 safety module components meet European Community (CE) requirements for open equipment as defined by IEC/EN 61131-2. You must install them in an enclosure designed for the specific environmental conditions and to minimize the possibility of unintended contact with hazardous voltages. Use metal enclosures to improve the electromagnetic immunity of your TM3 safety module components. Use enclosures with a keyed locking mechanism to minimize unauthorized access.

The TM3 safety module environment must be designed to improve the durability of the equipment.

Warning_Color.gifWARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Install and use the module in a cabinet with an IP54 rating.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Environmental Characteristics

All the TM3 safety module components are electrically isolated between the internal electronic circuit and the input/output channels.

This equipment meets CE requirements as indicated in the following table. This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment.
