FAQ
Q1: How many modules can the GEH 01 accommodate?
A1: Up to 8 modules—1 power supply, 1 CPU, and 6 I/O modules.
Q2: Is the GEH 01 suitable for Zone 2 hazardous environments?
A2: Yes, when installed in a certified enclosure meeting IP54 or higher.
Q3: What power supply is required?
A3: A 24 V DC power supply unit with PELV or SELV isolation.
Q4: Does the subrack itself perform safety functions?
A4: No, safety functions are implemented by the installed modules, not the subrack.
Q5: How often should the fans be replaced?
A5: Every 5 years at normal temperatures or every 3 years if >40 °C.
Q6: What is the recommended storage temperature?
A6: Between -40 °C and +85 °C.
Q7: What material is used for the housing?
A7: Anodized and partially coated aluminum.
Q8: Is maintenance required during operation?
A8: No, the subrack itself is maintenance-free aside from fan replacement.
Q9: Can modules be replaced while powered?
A9: Work in a de-energized state is recommended for safety.
Q10: What is the protection rating of the subrack?
A10: IP20 by default, higher when installed in suitable enclosures.
