Safety instructions for electrical connection
The device should be operated with only safe low voltage. All other electrical
connections of the device should also be made with only electronic components
which work on safe low voltage.
There if fatal danger in touching the live parts. Therefore, fitment and maintenance of
the regulator shall be carried out by only trained personnel. Mounting and servicing
operations should be carried out only after switching off the voltage.
Touching the plug or other electronic components should also be avoided in switched
off condition. Electronic components can get damaged due to electrostatic discharge
process.
The product is not meant for systems, which perform safety related functions. In
normal operation also, there is always a danger of malfunctioning, for example
because of over voltage or failure of components. The user has to ensure that there
are no consequential damages due to malfunctioning or undefined device status. This
can be achieved, for example, through redundant components or protection circuits.
Due to wrong tightening torque applied on screws of the connection terminals or by
use of inappropriate tool, the terminals can get damaged because of which the
insulation or the contact can get disturbed. Badly connected leads can come out
during operation and cause a serious risk to safety. Excessive heat generated due to
contact resistance at the terminal connections can lead to fire. Wrongly wired
connections can destroy electric components and cause other damages.
