Technology Explained Simply
The A24 housing is made of polyamide, a high-strength plastic that resists mechanical stress and chemical influences. The IP 66 protection rating means the device is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use or in humid indoor environments. The operating temperature range is between -25°C and +55°C, with a storage temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. Relative humidity must not exceed 95%. The ring tone volume is between 60 and 90 dB(A) at a distance of one meter, ensuring good audibility even in noisy environments. The terminal blocks are suitable for cable cross-sections from 0.08 to 2.5 mm², including single, multi, and fine-stranded cables. Cable glands are M16 with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm. Blind plugs are available in sizes M12 and M16. The handset connects via an M12Flex mounting with a diameter of 3 to 6.5 mm. The locking screws are made of V4A steel (1.4571), ensuring high corrosion resistance.

Compatibility and Accessories
The A24 is designed for use in telephone systems with multi-frequency and pulse dialing. It can be used as a station telephone or end device.
