Mounting 5.3 Installing the enclosure outdoors 3. Install and secure the cables entering the enclosure and make sure they have adequate strain relief. The cable entry may only be used for strain relief if suitable cable glands are used. 4. Route the cables from below through the associated glands and tighten the clamping screw of the gland at the torque specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
Mounting 5.4 Optional installation components Optional installation components The following separately certified components can be installed optionally: ● Terminals: – Ex e for the connection of cable cross-sections >4 mm, – Ex i for wiring of intrinsically safe signals (blue); these may only be used for Ex i signals. Make sure when arranging intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe terminals that they are separated ("thread measure") by at least 50 mm.
Mounting 5.5 Use of I/O device at temperatures down to -40 °C Use of I/O device at temperatures down to -40 °C You must install a heater in the enclosure in order to operate the devices at temperatures down to -40 °C. Note the following: Distributed I/O 6DL2804-3xxxx &...

ESD Guidelines What does ESD mean? All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or components. Due to their design, these electronic elements are highly sensitive to overvoltage, and thus to any electrostatic discharge. The electrostatic sensitive components/modules are commonly referred to as ESD devices. This is also the international abbreviation for such devices.
Page 38
ESD Guidelines Figure 10-1 Electrostatic voltages on an operator Basic protective measures against electrostatic discharge ● Ensure good equipotential bonding: When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, ensure that your body, the workplace and packaging are grounded. This prevents electrostatic charge. ● Avoid direct contact: As a general rule, only touch electrostatic sensitive devices when this is unavoidable (e.g.
