1. Safety
1.1. General note
Read this document carefully and get used to the operation of the device before you use it.
Keep this document within easy reach near the device for consulting in case of doubt.
Mounting, start-up, operating, maintenance and removing from operation must be done by quali-
fied, specially trained staff that have carefully read and understood this manual before starting
any work.
The manufacturer will assume no liability or warranty in case of usage for other purpose than the
intended one, ignoring advices of this manual, operating by unqualified staff as well as unauthor-
ized modifications to the device.
1.2. Intended use
The GIA 20 EB is a universal microcontroller based display unit.
The device has additional outputs and therefore is also applicable for monitoring and controlling
purposes.
The devices are only to be operated in control panels ore suitable electric housings, where the
connection terminal area is sufficiently protected against touch.
They are designed for industrial or commercial use.
Outdoor installation without suitable means of protection is not allowed.
Due to the flexibly configurable universal input and the relay outputs of the GIA 20 EB they are
applicable for many different applications. Both outputs are not galvanically isolated from the power
supply.
Prior to fulfil the referring requirements, the device has to be configured on the base of this manual.
Wrong configuration may lead to malfunction in the application. The commissioning expert / the
operator is liable for a suitable configuration.
The counting function is not to be used for e.g. consumption metering in the sense of the measur-
ing instruments directive 2014/32/EU.
The safety guidelines of the manual are followed!
The unit does not contain any components that you can service or repair yourself.
All the described operations are only to be performed of skilled personnel that are authorized by
the operator.
Any other use or use exceeding this is considered as non-conforming and leads to the expiration of
any liability or guarantee claims from the manufacturer.
Note: Combination / connection to other electrical equipment with CE marking does not automati-
cally deliver a conform system. A new evaluation of the system’s conformity to the low voltage di-
rective (2014/35/EU) and EMC directive (2014/30/EU) by the manufacturer may be necessary,
eventually others have to be considered (e.g. machinery directive).
1.3. Skilled personnel
The mounting, electrical installation, start of operation, maintenance and decommissioning must
only performed by a skilled electrician.
Users of the readily installed device have to be sufficiently skilled in the operation of the device and
able to avoid risks. The operator of the arrangement is responsible for sufficient qualification the
operators.
