TM5 Environmental Characteristics

Introduction

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