2000 m above sea level. The product is suitable for pollution degree 2 environ-

ments where nonconductive contamination can occur. For more information on

product facing down. If the product is designed for different positions, secure the

product so that it cannot fall over.

If the product has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to ensure

stability. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the prod-

uct is moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of

the product, but not an extra load.

If stacking is possible, keep in mind that a stack of products can fall over and

cause injury.

If you mount products in a rack, ensure that the rack has sufficient load capacity

and stability. Observe the specifications of the rack manufacturer. Always install

the products from the bottom shelf to the top shelf so that the rack stands

securely. Secure the product so that it cannot fall off the rack.
