and Canadian regulations.
UR, c-UR and c-UR us symbol
These symbols are seldom seen by consumers as they are affixed to special components that are part of a larger system
or product. These components may have technical or design restrictions.
The Component Recognition symbol can be on a large number of products, such as switches, power supplies, printed
boards, switching devices and many other products. Products for Canada have an additional „c“.
The c UR us symbol was introduced in 1998 and means that the marked components meet both the UL and CSA regula-
tions.
The „UL listed“ symbol u is applied to devices that can be installed universally and without further instructions or any restriction of their respec-
tive applicability, e. g. contactors to UL 508, miniature circuit breakers to UL 489, energy management devices according to UL 916 ...
The „UL Recognized“ symbol U is intended for devices that may only be installed by experts as components, e. g. miniature circuit breakers to UL
1077, time switches to UL 917, SITOR fuses and so on.

5WG1 energy management devices . . . according to UL 916
The UL 916 requirements cover energy management equipment rated 600 V or less intended for installation in accordance with the National
Electrical Code NFPA 70. This primarily applies to devices for the control of electrical loads to achieve the desired use of electrical power. Such
equipment controls electrical loads by responding to sensors and actuators.
All devices that are powered by the bus voltage or by an external fewer 30 V DC and fewer 1.5 A power supply, and that are not connected to
voltages greater than 30 V AC/DC, meet the conditions the UL standard. These devices can be used as energy management equipment according
to UL 916 (energy management equipment accessories).
