Environmental Specifications
Vibration Modules perform wel l wh ere vibration is a factor. Desi gns are shock and
vibration tested to meet the following specifications when installed on a
panel-mounted DIN rail using the clamp supplied, and with the panel-
mounting feet secured:
IEC68-2-6: 10 to 57 Hz 0.012 in displacement (peak to peak)
57 to 500 Hz at 2 g (unless otherwise specified)
IEC68-2-27: Shock: 15G, 11 milliseconds, half sine wave
Noise Modules are resistant to noise levels found in most industrial applications
when installed accord in g to accepted practices, in cl uding proper separation
of wiring by voltage and power levels, on a conductive (unpainted) DIN rail.
The DIN rail i s an integral par t of t he groundin g system.
Modules are tested to the specifications listed in the Conformance to
Standards document (GFK-1079).
Temperature Modules operate reliably in ambient air temperatures from 0 deg. C (32 deg.
F) up to 55 deg. C (131 deg. F).
Storage temperatures are -40 deg. C (-40 deg. F) to +85 deg. C (185 deg. F).
Humidity 5% to 95%, non-condensing.
