Table 8-4 IP rating degrees of protection
8.10 Corrosive gasses
Concentrations of corrosive gases must not exceed the levels given in:
• Table A2 of EN 50178:1998
• Class 3C2 of IEC 60721-3-3
This corresponds to the levels typical of urban areas with industrial activities and/or
heavy traffic, but not in the immediate neighborhood of industrial sources with chemical
emissions.
8.11 RoHS compliance
FXMP25 meets EU directive 2002-95-EC for RoHS compliance.
8.12 Vibration
Maximum recommended continuous vibration level 0.14 g rms broad-band 5 to 200 Hz.

This is the limit for broad-band (random) vibration. Narrow-band vibration at this level
which coincides with a structural resonance could result in premature failure.
