Suitable installation location at temperatures above 50 °C
If a device is operated in an ambient temperature of more than 50 °C, the temperature of
the device housing may be higher than 70 °C.
When installing the device, select a location where only qualified service personnel or
trained users have access to it.
Use of approved components
• Use only approved components, for example supporting brackets, SFPs, 19 inch racks.
• Create any supports you require according the dimension drawing.
Suitable cables for temperatures in excess of 70 °C
If the cable or conduit entry point exceeds 70 °C or the branching point of conductors
exceeds 80 °C, special precautions must be taken. If the equipment is operated in an air
ambient in excess of 50 °C, only use cables with admitted maximum operating temperature
of at least 80 °C.
Provide suitable shade to protect the IE Switch X-300 against direct sunlight. This avoids
unnecessary warming of the IE Switches X-300 and prevents premature aging of the
IE Switch X-300 and cabling.
Note
When installing and operating the device, keep to the installation instructions and safety
related notices as described in this document and in the manual SIMATIC NET Industrial
Ethernet Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Networks.
