2.3.4 Ambient conditions
You can classify the ambient conditions according to the standard DIN EN 60721‑3‑3: 1995-09
for stationary, weather-protected use.
With the exception of environmental inuences "Low air temperature", "Low air pressure", and
"Condensation", the motor complies with climate class 3K4.

Note
Installation instructions
The motor is not suitable for operation
• In salt-laden or aggressive atmospheres
• Outdoors
• In a vacuum
• In hazardous areas with a danger of explosion
You will nd additional data on the ambient conditions, such as for transport and storage of the
motor, in Chapter "Preparation for use (Page 129)".
