Note: Information that supplements points in the main text.
D A N G E R
The manufacturer products designed for outdoor use are provided with a high level of ingress
protection against liquids and dust. If these products are connected to a mains electricity socket
by means of a cable and plug rather than by fixed wiring, the level of ingress protection of the
plug and socket connection against liquids and dust is considerably lower. It is the responsibility
of the operator to protect the plug and socket connection in such a manner that the connection
has an adequate level of ingress protection against liquids and dust and complies with the local
safety regulations.
When the instrument is used outdoors, it should be connected only to a suitable socket with at
least IP44 rating (protection against water sprayed from all directions).
