terms.

SAFETY

 

This instrument was manufactured and tested in compliance with IEC 61010-1 CAT III - 
300V class 2 standards  for operating voltages up to 300 VAC rms phase to neutral. 
In order to maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must comply with 
the indications and markings contained in the following instructions: 

• When the instrument is received, before starting its installation, check that it is 

intact and no damage occurred during transport. 

•  Before  mounting,  ensure  that  the  instrument  operating  voltages  and  the  mains 

voltage are compatible then proceed with the installation. 

• The instrument power supply needs no earth connection. 
•  The  instrument  is  not  equipped  with  a  power  supply  fuse;  a  suitable  external 

protection fuse must be foreseen by the contractor. 

•  Maintenance  and/or  repair  must  be  carried  out  only  by  qualifi ed,  authorized 

personnel 

• If there is ever the suspicion that safe operation is no longer possible, the instrument 

must be taken out of service and precautions taken against its accidental use. 

Operation is no longer safe when:
• 

There is clearly visible damaged. 

• 

The instrument no longer functions. 

• 

After lengthy storage in unfavorable conditions. 

• 

After serious damage occurred during transport

The instruments must be installed in respect of all the local regulations.

OPERATOR SAFETY

Warning:

  Failure  to  observe  the  following  instructions  may  lead  to  a  serious  danger  of 

death.

• During normal operation dangerous voltages can occur on instrument terminals and 

on  voltage  and  current  transformers.  Energized  voltage  and  current  transformers 
may generate lethal voltages. Follow carefully the standard safety precautions while 
carrying out any installation or service operation.

• The terminals of the instrument must not be accessible by the user after the installation. 

The  user  should  only  be  allowed  to  access  the  instrument  front  panel  where  the 
display is located.

• Do not use the digital outputs for protection functions nor for power limitation functions. 

The instrument is suitable only for secondary protection functions.

• The instrument must be protected by a breaking device capable of interrupting both 

the power supply and the measurement terminals. It must be easily reachable by the 
operator and well identifi ed as instrument cut-off  device.

• The instrument and its connections must be carefully protected against short-circuit.

Precautions:

 Failure to respect the following instructions may irreversibly damage to the 

instrument.

• The outputs and the options operate at low voltage level; they cannot be powered by 

any unspecifi ed external voltage.

• The application of currents not compatible with the current inputs levels will damage 

to the instrument.
