5.2 Maintaining the operating position
Maintaining the operating position
The power distribution box has four housing feet. In order
to maintain the operating position and to avoid damage to
the device, the power distribution box must always sit on its
housing feet.
Ensure that the power distribution box is always placed
on its housing feet (
1
) and particularly during operation.
5.3 Maintaining the protection class
All protective covers (e. g. hinged lids for sockets) must be
closed and locked, where applicable, during operation to
ensure that the protection class is maintained.
ATTENTION
Material damage due to unsuitable plugs and
sockets
The combination of plugs and sockets with different pro-
tection classes can result in leakage.
Only connect plugs and sockets with the same protec-
tion class.
ATTENTION - The use of plugs and sockets
with different protection classes will reduce
the effect of the protection class.
If, for example, an electrical consumer with an
IP
44
plug is connected to an
IP 67
socket of the
power distribution box, then the effect of the
protection class of the power distribution box is
reduced
to the
IP 44
class.
Consequence: Limited protective function.
Remedy:
Check the plug of the electrical consumer
to be connected for suitability regarding
its shape, design and protection class
beforehand.
Only connect consumers with suitable
plugs of the same protection class.
5.4 Switching on protective elements
Switching on protective elements
Protective elements must be switched on, before a consu-
mer is connected to the power distribution box.
Open the inspection window.
