Instructions:
a) The external circuitry of all terminals must meet the safety requirements stipulated by IEC/EN/UL 60950-1: SELV.
b) Use appropriate copper cables that are designed for an operating temperature of:
60°C for ambient up to 45°C and
75°C for ambient up to 60°C minimum
90°C for ambient up to 70°C minimum.
c) Follow national installation codes and installation regulations!
d) Ensure that all strands of a stranded wire enter the terminal connection!
e) Up to two stranded wires with the same cross section are permitted in one connection point.
f) Screws of unused terminal compartments should be securely tightened.
g) Ferrules are allowed, but not required

*) The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by the lifetime
expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specied in operational hours and is calculated according to the
capacitor’s manufacturer specication. The prediction model allows only a calculation of up to 15 years from date of shipment.
**) MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates reliability of a
device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product.
The MTBF gure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF gure of e.g. 1 000 000h means that
statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the eld. However, it can not be determined if the failed unit
has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.
