1000 m (3281 ft) above MSL the capacity must be reduced by 1.5 % per 100 m
(328 ft).
The maximum site altitude is 2000 m (6562 ft) above MSL.
▶ The device must be protected against harmful gas,  oil vapor  and salty air at the
place of installation.
▶ The ambient  air  must  not  contain  aggressive,  grinding, electrically  conductive  or
flammable substances as well as any amount of dust.
▶ The maximum relative humidity during operation is 85% (no condensation).
▶ The admissible ambient temperature during operation is +5 °C to +40 °C (+41 °F
to  +104  °F).  Extreme  and  sudden  changes  of  the  temperature  should  be
prevented.
─ Ensure  power  derating  for  devices  used  under  ambient  temperatures  over
+40  °C  (+104  °F)  (see  technical  data).  The  following  applies:-1.5  %  per
1 °C.Note: F=C×9/5+32; C=(F-32)×5/9
─ Devices with polyester film at the front panel: The polyester films must not be
exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. In conditions of high
humidity (>80 %) the ambient temperature must not exceed +40 °C (+104 °F).
The polyester films must not come in contact with benzyl alcohol or methylene
chloride.
▶ Make sure that the aeration elements are free and open, so that the air circulation
is not restricted.
3.7 Electrical Connection
 
 DANGER
Risk of serious injuries due to touch voltages
After electric devices have been switched off touch voltages may occur depending
on  the  device  up  to  4  minutes.  Longer  construction-related  discharge  times  are
possible. Refer to the product documentation of your device.
All work at and within the units must only be carried out, when the units are turned
off, the mains supply is cut and the DC bus is completely discharged.
Never touch energized parts after a device has been switched. off.
Consider the applicable VDE regulations and accident prevention regulations (e.g.
VBG 1 and VBG 4).
 
 DANGER
Risk of serious injuries due to improper connection to earth
Incorrect  or  insufficient  connection  of  the  system  to  earth  may  cause  dangerous
currents.
Connection to earth must be realized according to  the instructions  in the product
documentation of your device.
The electrical installation must be carried out according to the relevant electrical codes
(e.g. appropriate  wire gauges, fuse  protection and connections  of ground conductors
must be considered).
