Safety Instructions
● When working with the EtherCAN/2 follow the instructions below and read the manual carefully to protect
yourself from injury and the EtherCAN/2 from damage.
● Do not use damaged or defective cables to connect the EtherCAN/2 and follow the CAN wiring hints in
chapter: "Correct Wiring of Electrically Isolated CAN Networks".
● In case of damages to the device, which might affect safety, appropriate and immediate measures must
be taken, that exclude an endangerment of persons and domestic animals and property.
● Current circuits which are connected to the device have to be sufficiently protected against hazardous
voltage (SELV according to EN 60950-1).
● The EtherCAN/2 may only be driven by power supply current circuits, that are contact protected.
A power supply, that provides a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) according to EN 60950-1, complies with
this conditions.
● Do not open the housing of the EtherCAN/2.
● The EtherCAN/2 has to be securely installed before commissioning.
● Never let liquids get inside the EtherCAN/2. Otherwise, electric shocks or short circuits may result.
● Protect the EtherCAN/2 from dust, moisture and steam.
● Protect the EtherCAN/2 from shocks and vibrations.
● The EtherCAN/2 may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the
EtherCAN/2 and use care when handling.
● Do not operate the EtherCAN/2 adjacent to heat sources and do not expose it to unnecessary thermal
radiation. Ensure an ambient temperature as specified in the technical data.

responsibility of the device's user to take care that necessary safety precautions for the device's network
interface are in place.
Intended Use
The guarantee given by esd does not cover damages which result from improper use, usage not in
accordance with regulations or disregard of safety instructions and warnings.
● The operation of the EtherCAN/2 in hazardous areas, or areas exposed to potentially explosive materials
is not permitted.
● The operation of the EtherCAN/2 for medical purposes is prohibited.
Service Note
The EtherCAN/2 does not contain any parts that require maintenance by the user. The EtherCAN/2 does not
require any manual configuration of the hardware. Unauthorized intervention in the device voids warranty
claims.
Disposal
Devices which have become defective in the long run have to be disposed in an appropriate way or have to
be returned to the manufacturer for proper disposal. Please, make a contribution to environmental protection.
