If you have a control panel which has relays and various other control
gear on, all mounted on a Din rail type construction this all comes
under the LVD and EMC Directives.
If you then include a DIN rail mounted 3G Modem (which has its own D of
C) would the entire panel then come under RTTE Directive ?
The LVD and EMCD Guides mention control panels, if I remember correctly,
because they are usually specially made and not 'catalogue items'. But
whether the RTTED or its Guide have similar provisions is another
matter. Such things as DIN-rail modems may not have been in mind when
the documents were written.
1) Would the panel have to be re-tested ?
Is there any reason to expect the modem not to conform just because it's
mounted in your panel? It was presumably type-tested for conformity in a
typical panel environment (i.e. properly mounted on a DIN rail).
2) RTTE requirements on LVD now apply with no bottom limits on LVD?
I'm not sure that it's relevant.
