Safety instructions
These operating instructions contain the information required for the proper usage of
the products described therein. They are addressed to technically qualified personnel,
who are specially trained or have otherwise obtained the relevant know-how in
instrumentation and control engineering (in the following referred to as automation
engineering). The knowledge and technically correct implementation of the safety
instructions and warnings contained in this manual are required for safe installation and
commissioning, as well as for safety during operation and maintenance of the described
product. Only qualified personnel as stipulated overleaf have the specialized knowledge
to interpret the general safety warnings and instructions of this documentation in every
specific case and to implement them in practice.
These operating instructions are an integral part of the scope of delivery. For reasons of
clarity, they do not include all details about all model of the product described, and also
cannot take into account every conceivable type of installation, operation and
maintenance. If you would like additional information, or if particular problems arise
which are not covered in sufficient detail in the documentation, please ask for the
necessary information from your local Siemens office, or contact the address on the back
page of the operating instructions directly.
Furthermore, it should be noted that this product documentation is neither part of a
previous or existing agreement, commitment, or legal relationship nor does it modify
such a relationship in any way. All Siemens obligations derive from the respective sales
contract, which also contains the complete and exclusive warranty agreement This
warranty agreement is neither extended nor restricted by any statements in this manual.
WARNING!
When electrical devices are operated, certain parts necessarily conduct dangerous
voltages. If the safety warnings are not heeded, severe injury or damage can occur.
Only appropriately qualified persons are permitted to work on this equipment.
Appropriate transport, storage, mounting, and installation, as well as careful operation
and service, are essential for the error-free, safe and reliable operation of this
equipment.
Modules and devices are tested with regard to their dielectric strength at 5.55kV/3.7 kV.
Devices with voltages up to a maximum of 500 V (to ground) in the measuring circuit
must demonstrate double isolation to the secondary circuits. Devices with voltages
higher than 500 V (to ground) in the measuring circuit must demonstrate basic isolation
against the secondary circuits. This must be observed during the installation
(section
10 Mounting and operation
) and use of the devices.
