Protect the device and its cables from direct sunlight and mechanical forces.
Make sure that the maximum permissible ambient temperature is not exceeded.
Refer to the technical data in FUS380 and FUE380 systems (Page 88).
Ambient temperatures for FUS080:
● MID version: -10 to +55 °C (14 to 131 °F)
● Non-MID version: -10 to +60 °C (14 to 140 °F)
See also Insulation (Page 28).
The enclosure rating of the transmitter is IP67 (NEMA 4X/6) or better.
