Invisible laser radiation
Looking directly into the beam or the reflected beam can cause eye damage.
The beam is emitted at the optical connections or at the end of the fiber-optic
cables connected to them on the assemblies. Read the chapter "Technical
Data" [
► Section 13, Page 156] for further information.
▪ Never look directly into the beam or the reflected beam.
▪ Never look into the beam with the aid of optical instruments such as a
magnifying glass or a microscope.
▪ In the event that the laser beam strikes your eyes, close your eyes imme-
diately and move your head out of the path of the beam.
Working with current transformers
Dangerous high voltages may occur when a current transformer is operated
with an open secondary circuit. This can lead to injuries and property dam-
age.
▪ Never operate a current transformer with an open secondary circuit; short-
circuit the current transformer to prevent this.
▪ Do not open plug connections or screw connections on the measuring
card without first short-circuiting the actual transformer or the current
transformer on the secondary side using the short-circuit bridges pro-
vided.
▪ Observe the information in the current transformer operating instructions.
Handling electrical components
Electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
▪ Never touch electrical components during commissioning, operation or
maintenance work.
▪ Take suitable measures (such as covers) to ensure that personnel cannot
touch components.
▪ Wear suitable personal protective equipment.
Explosion protection
Highly flammable or explosive gases, vapors and dusts can cause serious
explosions and fire.
▪ Do not install or operate the product in areas where a risk of explosion is
present.
