Operating Conditions & Performance
The series operates within an ambient temperature range of -20 to 40°C (-4 to 104°F). Enclosure ratings vary by material: Polycarbonate and Stainless Steel models are rated NEMA 4X, IP66. Steel models are rated NEMA 4, IP65.
Electrical connections utilize a terminal block with Cu conductors only (75°C). Terminal size acceptability is defined as:
- 14 to 8 AWG for polycarbonate enclosures
- 12 to 4 AWG for steel enclosures
- 4 to 1/0 AWG for stainless steel enclosures
Terminal torque specifications are 16 Lb.in for polycarbonate and 50 Lb.in for steel/stainless steel.
Configuration Options
The series is available in three housing materials: Polycarbonate, Steel, and Stainless Steel. Model numbers follow the format AU---UL-, with examples including AU-KEM325UL-YR, AU-KET325UL, and AU-KER325UL.
