2-1-1 Attention: Meeting the EC Low Voltage Directive
The ZEN is an open-structure device. The right side of the enclosure (i.e., the
vertical surface where the Expansion Unit connector cover is located) does
not provide the mechanical strength against impact of a 500-g, 50-mm-dia.
steel ball from a height of 1,300 mm, as required in IEC/EN 61131-2.
Therefore, the ZEN must always be mounted inside a control panel and the
installation method must assure protection from such impact by using one of
the following installation methods.
Protection by Cover
Protection by Location
Protection by Barrier
