Installing the device

The device is designed for a vertical position of use and, for
compliance with the protection class, may only be installed
and used in this position.
The correct position of use is defined by the opening of the
hinged socket lids and inspection windows to the top. With
a deviating position of use, the protection class require-
ments can no longer be met, which is to be taken into con-
sideration in particular when using the device in an outdoor
area. Devices complying with protection class IP44 are pro-
tected against splash water but are not suitable for continu-
ous overhead sprinkling.
For devices installed in an outdoor area, corresponding
protective measures (e.g. a weather protection roof) are to
be provided if necessary.
