ponent) itself indicates an electrical hazard that can

2.3 Product safety
The devices, components and modules reflect
current engineering practice and accepted safety
standards, but hazards can arise nonetheless.
Observe the safety regulations and warning notices.
If notices are disregarded, this can lead to personal
injury and/or damage to the product.
Every type of tampering with or use of the devices
and the modules,
·which goes beyond the mechanical, electrical or
other operating limits can lead to personal injury
and/or damage to the product;
·constitutes “misuse” and/or “negligence” under the
product’s warranty and thus voids the warranty for
any possible resulting damage.
Read and understand the user manual and the usage
information on the basic device before installing, op-
erating, maintaining and using the devices, compo-
nents and modules.
Only operate the devices, components and modules
when they are in perfect condition and in compliance
with this user manual and the usage information that
is included. Send defective devices, components
or modules back to the manufacturer in compliance
with proper transport conditions.
Retain the user manual throughout the service life of
your product and keep it at hand for consultation.
When using the device, component or module, also
observe the legal and safety regulations for your sys-
tem that are applicable for the respective use case.
