Page 4: Important Notes
Do not run SELV and LV cables in the same enclosure without adequate insulation between them. SigTEL EVCS control equipment is designed to be installed indoors. Outstations are not IP rated so should not be installed outdoors unless an IP65, or better housing, is used and cables are installed so as to prevent the ingress of moisture. -
