5.3 Installation instructions for enhanced mechanical load
capacity
WARNING
Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device!
Bring the Bus Terminal system into a safe, de-energized state before starting mounting, disassembly or
wiring of the Bus Terminals!
Additional checks
The terminals have undergone the following additional tests:
Verification Explanation
Vibration 10 frequency runs in 3 axes
6 Hz < f < 60 Hz displacement 0.35 mm, constant amplitude
60.1 Hz < f < 500 Hz acceleration 5 g , constant amplitude
Shocks 1000 shocks in each direction, in 3 axes
25 g , 6 ms
Additional installation instructions
For terminals with enhanced mechanical load capacity, the following additional installation instructions apply:
• The enhanced mechanical load capacity is valid for all permissible installation positions
• Use a mounting rail according to EN 60715 TH35-15
• Fix the terminal segment on both sides of the mounting rail with a mechanical fixture, e.g. an earth
terminal or reinforced end clamp
• The maximum total extension of the terminal segment (without coupler) is:
64 terminals (12 mm mounting with) or 32 terminals (24 mm mounting with)
• Avoid deformation, twisting, crushing and bending of the mounting rail during edging and installation of
the rail
• The mounting points of the mounting rail must be set at 5 cm intervals
• Use countersunk head screws to fasten the mounting rail
• The free length between the strain relief and the wire connection should be kept as short as possible. A
distance of approx. 10 cm should be maintained to the cable duct.
5.4 Connection system
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage of device!
Bring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or
wiring of the Bus Terminals!
Overview
The Bus Terminal system offers different connection options for optimum adaptation to the respective
application:
• The terminals of KLxxxx and ELxxxx series with standard wiring include electronics and connection
level in a single enclosure.
• The terminals of KSxxxx and ESxxxx series feature a pluggable connection level and enable steady
wiring while replacing.
• The High Density Terminals (HD Terminals) include electronics and connection level in a single
enclosure and have advanced packaging density.
