Safety instructions
General safety regulations
Assembly, installation, commissioning and repair of electronic devices must be carried out by
qualified electricians.
Observe the latest regulations and standards for system installations.
WARNING!
Danger to life due to electric shock
Observe the safety regulations according to DIN VDE 0100, when working on main power
connections of 230 V.
When installing TCS:BUS systems the general safety regulations for telecommunication sys-
tems according to VDE 0800 must be observed. Inter alia:
separated cable routing of high and low voltage lines,
minimum distance of 10 cm in case of a common cable routing,
use of separators between high and low voltage lines within shared cable ducts,
use of standard telecommunication lines, e.g. J-Y (St) Y with 0.8 mm diameter,
already existing lines (modernisation) with deviating cross-sections can be used in compli-
ance with the loop resistance.
Requirements to protect against lightning
CAUTION!
Device damage due to over-voltage
By suitable lightning protection measures it has to be ensured that the electric voltage of 32 V
DC at each connection is not to be exceeded.
