TM5 Environmental Characteristics

Introduction

The following information describes the system-wide environmental requirements and character­istics for the TM5 System.

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.

All 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. Your enclosure should be constructed of metal to improve the electromagnetic immunity of your TM5 System. Your enclosure should have a keyed locking mechanism to minimize unauthorized access.

(1) Some devices have temperature operating restrictions that require de-rating between 55 °C and 60 °C (131 °F and 140 °F), and may be subject to other possible restrictions. See the specific characteristics for your electronic module.

(2) For compliance to Class I, Div 2 environment ratings, do not operate this device in locations with ambient temperatures less than 0 °C (32° F).

NOTE: The tested ranges may indicate values beyond that of the IEC Standard. However, our internal standards define what is necessary for industrial environments. In all cases, we uphold the minimum specification if indicated.
