*) This value is valid if one input has exceeded the start input voltage.
**) It is permitted to exceed this limit as long as the maximum short circuit current is not exceeded.
***) The device is designed for an outdoor use. Direct sunlight and precipitation (rain, snow hail) hast to be avoided on site.
