TM5 Environmental Characteristics

Enclosure Requirements

TM5 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 the standard, or in environments that do not meet the specifications in this manual, your ability to meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the presence of conducted and/or radiated interference may be reduced.

The TM5 components meet European Community (CE) requirements for open equipment as defined by EN61131-2. You must install them in an enclosure designed for the specific environmental conditions and to minimize the possibility of unintended contact with hazardous voltages. The enclosure should be constructed of metal to improve the electromagnetic immunity of your TM5 System. The enclosure should, and in the case of UL compliance, must, have a keyed locking mechanism to minimize unauthorized access.

Environmental Characteristics

This equipment meets UL and CSA standards and, for the majority of the modules, carry both certification marks. In addition, all modules are certified as CE compliant. This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment.

NOTE: Some module characteristics may differ from those presented in the following tables. Refer to the chapter concerning your specific module for more information.
