5 Transport
The cabinet or enclosure must remain closed during
transport. The doors must remain closed when the device
is turned over. When positioning the distributor, and espe-
cially when turning it over, avoid creating any one-sided
strain, as this could potentially cause damage to the fire
protection system, thereby impairing the functioning of
the enclosure.
NOTE
Improper handling during transport can cause damage to
the enclosure or the insulation, thereby impairing functio-
ning.
6 Mounting and Installation
Alignment
Enclosures must be screwed to the masonry with dowels
that have a general technical approval. Static factors must
be taken into account. The process of screwing on must
not subject the enclosure to any tension.
It must be ensured that setup or mounting of the electrical
distributor does not impair the stability, sound insulation
and fire resistance duration of the adjacent building const-
ruction section, even in cases of fire.
The approval object of type “US-S ESF30 13-S” must be
suspended from solid walls (d ≥ 240 mm) with a fire resis-
tance duration of at least 30 minutes. The approval object
of type “US-S ESF30 28-S” must be placed vertically on
solid walls (d ≥ 240 mm) and on solid ceilings (d ≥ 150
mm) made of non-combustible building materials with a
fire resistance duration of at least 30 minutes. Assignment
of the classified fire behaviour properties to the building
authority requirements in accordance with Building Regu-
lations List A Part 1 Annex 0.2.1 or 0.2.2 (in the respec-
tively valid edition, see www.dibt.de).
Sealing
All types of cable insertion must be performed by specia-
lists.
Insertion of cables in the enclosure
It must be ensured that fire safety cables are always
inserted in the enclosure vertically and without tension.
Depending on the cable equipment, the general appraisal
certificate (allgemeines bauaufsichtliches Prüfzeugnis,
ABP) or general technical approval (allgemeine bauauf-
sichtliche Zulassung, ABZ) of the relevant manufacturer
must be observed outside the enclosure. Within the enclo-
sure, it must also be ensured that the cables are straight
before they are looped around and distributed.
The maximum admissible single conductor and complete
conductor cross-sections for cables intended for infeed
into the electrical distributors are listed in Table 1 below.

Cables entering the distributors must comply with legislati-
ve national regulations concerning cable systems (direc-
tive for fire protection requirements with cable systems
according to MLAR sample cable systems directive,
version from April 2016) and technical requirements (e.g.
VDE specifications). The cables must ensure power supply
of the electrical distributor and connected building regula-
tions-compliant safety lighting systems for the duration of
functionality.
Inspection
The enclosure is to be inspected for proper installation by
a fire expert authorised for this purpose. The inspection
should be used to create a protocol that is to be stored
together with these instructions.
Power Loss
Enclosures must have dimensions which allow them to
radiate the power loss of the electrical consumer unit (see
DIN EN 60439-1).
