TH LINK PROFINET - Installation Manual
Note
Never open the case of the TH LINK or carry out any
mechanical modifications on the device. This may lead to
damages on the device as well as to loss of warranty.
EMC note
The TH LINK contains electronic components sensitive to
electrostatic discharges. Damages due to electrostatic
discharge can lead to premature failure of components or
intermittent faults at a later stage. Before installing the TH
LINK, divert the electrostatic discharge away from your
body and the tools used.
Carefully plan the integration of the TH LINK into an existing
system and ensure proper function of the system after
installation.
The TH LINK may only be installed or uninstalled by qualified,
trained electrical engineering personnel. When installing the TH
LINK, observe the regulations for handling electric components
in accordance with VDE 0100. In addition, you must also
observe the valid safety and accident prevention regulations
(UVV) when operating the device within the jurisdiction of the
Federal Republic of Germany.
Always install the device on a suitable top-hat rail (mounting rail).
Cables used for the connection must not apply any mechanical
forces to the device.
High temperature differences between the storage site and
installation site can result in condensation within the case, which
may cause the TH LINK to become damaged. In case of high
temperature differences, wait at least three hours before
operating the device.
