Contactors C320K/C320S – Installation and Maintenance Manual
General and safety information
2.2 Duties of the operating company
X
Observe all applicable national regulations, all
safety, accident prevention and environmental
protection regulations as well as the recognised
technical rules for safe and correct working.
X
Regularly check all fitted protection and safety
equipment for correct function.
X
Work on electrical equipment must only be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician or by instructed
persons under the supervision and control of a
qualified electrician in accordance with electrical
regulations.
X
A specialist is someone who, on the basis of their
technical training, knowledge and experience as
well as knowledge of the relevant regulations,
is able to assess the work assigned to them and
identify possible dangers.
X
Work on the contactors must only be carried out
by personnel who meet the requirements set out
in this manual.
X
Personnel must be clearly informed about who is
responsible for the maintenance of the contactors.
X
Always perform complete checks after any instal-
lation work and/or after any other conversions, al-
terations or maintenance, in accordance with the
following standards:
-
EN/IEC 60077-2
-
EN/IEC 60947-4-1
2.3 Intended use
X
The contactors have been designed and tested ac-
cording to national and international standards.
Due to their unique features they can also be used
in a wide range of industrial applications.
X
The contactors must only be used under operat-
ing conditions according to the technical specifi-
cations and the instructions in this manual.
X
None of the conditions of use, such as voltages,
currents or ambient conditions, defined in the cor-
responding technical data sheets or in our
C320
catalogue
may be overridden. The
C320 catalogue
is available under:
https://www.schaltbau.com/media/C320_en.pdf
X
The contactors may only be used when all protec-
tive devices are present, have been correctly in-
stalled and are fully operational.
X
Contactors may not be used without other safety
precautions in potentially explosive atmospheres
and/or in aggressive media.
X
The device contains unprotected live parts.
X
The prescribed clearances relative to other live
parts or earth and other parts must be complied
with as well as the safety regulations of the appli-
cable standards.
X
Switching at close to the maximum breaking ca-
pacity may require increased minimum clearanc-
es! Do not hesitate to ask our advice in respect of
any dimensioning.
X
Coil suppression for reducing surges when the coil
is switched off is optimally attuned to the contac-
tor‘s switching behaviour. The existing opening
characteristic must not be negatively influenced
by parallel connection with an external diode.
X
Improper handling of the contactors, e.g. impacts
on the floor, may result in breakage, cracks or de-
formation. Always handle the device with care.
X
Only use the contactors for the specified applica-
tion and only with original parts. Any other usage
of or tampering with the contactors is considered
contrary to their intended use. No liability is as-
sumed for damages and accidents caused due to
non-compliance with the instructions in this man-
ual or improper use of the contactors.
2.4 Ambient conditions
ATTENTION
The contactors have been design for specific ambi-
ent conditions.
X
Only operate the contactors in ambient condi-
tions, such as temperature ranges, degree of
soiling, etc., as defined in the corresponding
data sheets and in our
catalogue C320
. The
C320 catalogue
is available under:
