Safety and EMC Information
This controller is intended for industrial temperature and
process control applications when it will meet the
requirements of the European Directives on Safety and
EMC. Use in other applications, or failure to observe the
installation instructions of this handbook may impair safety
or EMC. The installer must ensure the safety and EMC of
any particular installation.
Safety
This controller complies with the European Low
Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, by the application of the
safety standard EN 61010.
Electromagnetic compatibility
This controller conforms with the essential protection
requirements of the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, by the
application of a Technical Construction File. This
instrument satisfies the general requirements of the
industrial environment defined in EN 61326. The EMC
Booklet (part number HA025464) gives further
installation information.

Installation requirements for EMC
To ensure compliance with the European EMC
directive certain installation precautions are
necessary as follows:
•
For general guidance refer to EMC
Installation Guide, HA025464. This may be
downloaded from www.eroelectronic.com.
•
When using relay outputs it may be
necessary to fit a filter suitable for
suppressing the emissions. The filter
requirements will depend on the type of
load. For typical applications we
recommend Schaffner FN321 or FN612.
•
If the unit is used in table top equipment
which is plugged into a standard power
socket, then it is likely that compliance to
the commercial and light industrial
emissions standard is required. In this case
to meet the conducted emissions
requirement, a suitable mains filter should
be installed. We recommend Schaffner
types FN321 and FN612.
