Screwing the cover plate for the cable feedthrough to the mounting plate
Protecting the cable feedthrough against spray water
The cabling of a SCALANCE W786 is led out of the rear of the device. The housing seal is
effective only when it is not subjected to spray water. If the device is mounted on a wall, this
is the case and no further measures are necessary. When mounted in any other way, an
additional cover plate must be screwed to the mounting plate.
WARNING
Danger from line voltage
If the cable feedthrough on the rear of the device is exposed to spray water, degree of
protection IP65 no longer applies. In this case, water can penetrate the device and
establish a live connection to the line voltage. There is then a risk of electric shock.
Make sure that you use the cover plate for the cable feedthrough if you do not mount the
SCALANCE W786 on a wall.
