Operational temperature
 *)
  -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to 158°F)  reduce output power according Fig. 13-1 
Storage temperature  -40 to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F)  for storage and transportation 
Output de-rating  1.28W/°C  45-60°C (113°F to 140°F) 
  2.5W/°C  60-70°C (140°F to 158°F) 
Additional derating is required for input voltages below 10.8Vdc, see chapter 3 for 
further details and values.

Altitude  0 to 6000m (0 to 20 000ft)  reduce output power or ambient temperature 
above 2000m sea level. 
Altitude de-rating  6W/1000m or 5°C/1000m  above 2000m (6500ft), see Fig. 13-2 
Over-voltage category  III  IEC 62477-1, EN 50178, altitudes up to 2000m 
  II  altitudes from 2000m to 6000m 
Degree of pollution  2  IEC 62477-1, EN 50178, not conductive 
LABS compatibility  The unit does not release any silicone or other LABS-critical substances and is suitable for 
use in paint shops. 
*)  Operational temperature is the same as the ambient temperature and is defined as the air temperature 2cm below the unit. 
**)  Do not energize while condensation is present 
***) Tested in combination with DIN-Rails according to EN 60715 with a height of 15mm and a thickness of 1.3mm and standard mounting 
orientation.
