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. 
If IE Switches X-200 are supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures 
are necessary to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines. 
These can result, for example, due to lightning or switching of large inductive loads.  
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of devices of the IE Switches X-200 to 
electromagnetic interference was the "surge immunity test" according to EN61000-4-5. This 
test requires overvoltage protection for the power supply lines. A suitable device is, for 
example, the Dehn Blitzductor BVT AVD 24 V type no. 918 422 or a comparable protective 
element.
