CORPORATE DOCUMENT
Staff requirements!
Transport, storage, installation, assembly, connection, commissioning, maintenance and service must be
undertaken exclusively by qualified technicians. The following must strictly be observed:
- The instructions at www.bkvibro.com
- Pictograms on the product
- Any product specific provisions and requirements
- All national and regional regulations for safety and accident prevention must be followed
WARNING!
In the event of impermissible opening of the product or removal of components, improper use, or incorrect
installation or operation there is a risk of personal injury or damage to property.
Electrical parts!
Ensure that any electrical parts are disconnected before mounting the product. Otherwise there can be a
risk of death or severe personal damage. Do not touch live electrical parts. Disconnect electrical parts
before any connections are made.
Hot surfaces!
When mounted at external heat sources (e.g. machine parts), systems, sensors and cables can adopt
dangerous temperatures, whereby burning, among other things, can occur in the event of contact.
CAUTION!
The single modules of the VC-8000 device have sharp edges. Danger of cuts!
CAUTION!
A VC-8000 device with the maximum number of components installed in it weighs approx..7 kg (max.).
The heavy weight can cause physical injuries during lifting, carrying and installing. If it drops down it might
cause personal injuries or damaged equipment!
Important Note:
Do not open the enclosure or cabinet when powered on without taking the appropriate precautions.
Sources of Danger
The VC-8000 is powered by +24 Vdc. However, voltages powering external power supplies can be much
higher; 110/220 Vac, or 90-250 Vdc (for example).
Relay/Trip Voltage
The VC-8000 contains relay (trips) which are connected to third party systems. These trip circuits may
contain high voltages which remain present event when the power to the VC-8000 has been turned off.
Always use safe practices and test relay connections with a multi-meter to verify if external voltages are
present.
DANGER!
Higher contact potentials cause current levels which are extremely dangerous and can lead to injury or
even death! The permissible levels of contact potentials are
•
Max switched power (resistive): 5A @ 48 Vrms or 30 Vdc
•
Maximum voltage in hazardous areas: 30 Vdc
