A.3.3 Mechanical and climatic environmental conditions for operation of the
TS Adapter II
Operating conditions
The TS Adapter II is designed for weather-protected, stationary use. The TS Adapter II
complies with the operating conditions defined in DIN IEC 60721-3-3:
● Class 3M3 (mechanical requirements)
● Class 3K3 (climatic environmental conditions)
Use with additional measures
The TS Adapter II must not be used under the conditions outlined below without taking
additional measures:
● At locations with a high degree of ionizing radiation
● In locations subject to harsh operating conditions, such as dust, aggressive fumes or
gases, severe electrical or magnetic fields
● In installations requiring special monitoring, such as elevators and electrical systems in
high risk areas
An additional measure can be installation of the TS Adapter II in a cabinet or in an enclosure,
for instance.
