8、THER REPRODUCTION ORDISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULINTRODUCTION1 Scope1.1 Infrared (IR) Viewports are a fixed aperture, consisting of one or more openings or a solid infraredtransmitting media, surrounded by a mounting bezel or frame, that provide a means for the passage ofinfrared radiation

9、. Infrared viewports are intended for factory installation in doors or walls of electricalenclosures for installation in ordinary (non-hazardous) locations to allow the use of IR scanners formonitoring temperatures of the enclosed equipment on which the viewport is installed, withoutcompromising the

10、 integrity of the enclosure with respect to access to live parts. Viewports may beinvestigated for installation in Type 1 enclosures or enclosures with other environmental ratings.1.2 Compliance with these requirements does not assure that the infrared viewport is suitable for use asa component of a

11、n end product. For example, accessibility of live parts is investigated with respect toindustrial products rated 600 V and below, and additional investigation may be required for products ratedover 600 V.1.3 The acceptability of an infrared viewport in any particular application depends upon its sui

12、tability forcontinued use under the conditions that prevail in actual service. Accordingly, for a particular applicationan infrared viewport may be affected by the requirements for the equipment in which it is used, and it maybe necessary to additionally evaluate that infrared viewport for features

13、or performance characteristicsthat are not specified in this Outline of Investigation.1.4 These requirements do not cover the field installation of infrared viewports on enclosures of electricalequipment already in service.1.5 These requirements do not cover viewports made from glass or translucent

27、) and the means for securing the cover to the viewport shall remain attached tothe viewport when in the open position by hinges, multi-turn captive fasteners, orequivalent means;2) A removable viewport cover (a cover that is completely removed from the viewport)shall have captive means for securing

28、the cover in place, such as latches or screwsthat remain attached to the viewport or the cover when the cover is removed.7.5 Infrared viewports that incorporate a movable or removable cover shall comply with 7.1, 7.4 and alsowith the requirements of Sections 11, 12 and 13, as applicable, with the co
