General Notes on Startup and Operation
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock if the protective earth conductor is not connected!
If a protective earth conductor is not or not properly connected, dangerous touch voltages can
occur on the Q-521 in the case of malfunction or failure of the system. If touch voltages exist,
touching the Q-521 can result in minor injuries from electric shock.
Connect the Q-521 to a protective earth conductor (p. 19) before startup.
Do not remove the protective earth conductor during operation.
If the protective earth conductor has to be removed temporarily (e.g., in the case of
modifications), reconnect the Q-521 to the protective earth conductor before starting it up
again.
CAUTION
Burning from hot surface!
The surface of the Q-521 and its vicinity can heat up during operation. Touching the Q-521 and
surrounding parts can result in minor injuries from burning.
Cool the Q-521 so that the temperature of its surface and surrounding parts does not
exceed 65 °C.
If sufficient cooling is not possible: Make sure that the hot Q-521 and its surrounding parts
cannot be touched.
If sufficient cooling and protection against contact are not possible: Mark the danger zone
in accordance with the legal regulations.
