Connecting the cables 

Procedure 

 

 

WARNING 

Danger from line voltage 
If the housing is not perfectly sealed, there is a danger to life due to the line voltage if the 

SCALANCE W786 is subjected to spray water or dampness. Make sure that you keep to 

the following safety rules. 

 

Before connecting up, turn of the power supply. 

 

The sealing of the cable feedthroughs of the SCALANCE W786 is only assured when 

the cable has a suitable diameter and adequate tensile strength. Only use cables that 

meet the specifications in the section "Cables for the SCALANCE W786". 

 

Never wrap insulating tape, adhesive tape or other materials around thinner cables to 

achieve the required diameter. In this case, neither the housing seal nor the strain relief 

clamps can fulfill their function. 

 

Close all unused openings in the housing seal with the sealing plugs supplied with the 

SCALANCE W786. Do not use fillers or any other material under any circumstances. 

 

 

 

 

WARNING 

Danger from line voltage 
If the supply cable of a power supply adapter for 100 to 240 VAC is disconnected from the 

line power, a dangerous voltage may be present for a brief period. 
For this reason, do not connect the contacts of the supply cable to the mains power supply 

using a plug-in connector but screw the contacts to a terminal block that can be 

disconnected from the mains power by a switch.
