● When working with the CAN-USB/400-Module follow the instructions below and read the manual
carefully to protect yourself from injury and the CAN-USB/400-Module from damage.
● Do not use damaged or defective cables to connect the CAN-USB/400-Module and follow the CAN
wiring hints in chapter: "Correct Wiring of Electrically Isolated CAN Networks".
● In case of damages to the device, which might affect safety, appropriate and immediate measures
must be taken, that exclude an endangerment of persons and domestic animals and property.
● Current circuits which are connected to the device have to be sufficiently protected against
hazardous voltage (SELV according to EN 60950-1).
● The CAN-USB/400-Module may only be driven by current circuits, that are contact protected.
A power supply, that provides a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) according to EN 60950-1, complies
with this conditions.
● Do not open the housing of the CAN-USB/400-Module.
● The CAN-USB/400-Modules have to be securely installed before commissioning.
●
