3.3 Prohibited use

It is strictly prohibited to use XV300 for safety related functions such as personal safety protection and mechanical safety interlocking. This type of function must be implemented through external safety relays or safety PLCs.

3.4 Specific Hazard Warning

Explosion hazard: If used in potentially explosive environments (such as ATEX Zone 22), it is necessary to ensure that the equipment is installed correctly, avoid dangerous impacts, and disconnect the power before disconnecting the plug.

Electrostatic discharge: Before touching the connector pins, touch a grounded metal object to release static electricity.

Electromagnetic compatibility: Improper use of cables or wiring may lead to a decrease in EMC performance, and it is necessary to use professionally assembled and well shielded cables.

Equipotential current: The equipotential current between different devices may cause signal interference or fire, and if necessary, equipotential connecting conductors should be laid.

UV rays: Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the plastic shell from becoming brittle.

Cleaning: Do not use sharp objects, abrasives, or solvents for cleaning to prevent liquids from entering the equipment.

Installation opening: It is necessary to ensure that the opening position does not weaken the structural strength of the cabinet, and the material thickness meets the requirements (2-5 mm for front installation, 1.5 mm or 2 mm ± 0.1 mm for rear installation according to the model).
