Environmental		The number of components has been significantly reduced over earlier
aspects during		converter series by the use of highly integrated components and the
development		modular design of the complete series. Thus, the energy requirement
		during production has been reduced.

Special significance was placed on the reduction of the volume, weight and variety of metal and plastic components.

Environmental aspects during production

Environmental aspects for disposal

Halogen-containing flame retardants were, for all essential components, replaced by environmentally-friendly flame retardants.

Environmental compatibility was an important criterion when selecting the supplied components.

Purchased components are generally supplied in recyclable packaging.

Surface finishes and coatings were eliminated with the exception of the galvanized sheet steel side panels.

ASIC devices and SMD devices were used on the boards. The production is emission-free.

The unit can be broken down into recyclable mechanical components as a result of easily releasable screw and snap connections.

The plastic components are to DIN 54840 and have a recycling symbol.

After the service life has expired, the product must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable national regulations.
