Safety Instructions
When working with CAN-CBX modules follow the instructions below and read the manual carefully to protect
yourself and the CAN-CBX module from damage.
The permitted operating position is specified as shown (Fig. 7). Other operating positions are not allowed.
Do not open the housing of the CAN-CBX module
Never let liquids get inside the CAN-CBX module. Otherwise, electric shocks or short circuits may result.
Protect the CAN-CBX module from dust, moisture and steam.
Protect the CAN-CBX module from shocks and vibrations.
The CAN-CBX module may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the CAN-
CBX module and use care when handling.
Do not operate the CAN-CBX module adjacent to heat sources and do not expose it to unnecessary thermal radiation.
Ensure an ambient temperature as specified in the technical data.
Do not use damaged or defective cables to connect the CAN-CBX 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, or 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-CBX module may only be driven by power supply current circuits, that are contact protected. A power
supply, that provides a safety extra-low voltage (SELV or PELV) according to EN 60950-1, complies with this
conditions.
Qualified Personal
This documentation is directed exclusively towards qualified personal in control and automation engineering.
The installation and commissioning of the product may only be carried out by qualified personal, which is authorized to put
devices, systems and electric circuits into operation according to the applicable national standards of safety engineering.
Conformity
The CAN-CBX module is an industrial product and meets the demands of the EU regulations and EMC standards printed
in the conformity declaration at the end of this manual.
Warning:
In a residential, commercial or light industrial environment the CBX-module may cause radio
interferences in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Intended Use
The intended use of the CAN-CBX module is the operation as a CANopen module with two serial interfaces.
The esd guarantee does not cover damages which result from improper use, usage not in accordance with regulations or
disregard of safety instructions and warnings.
The CAN-CBX module is intended for indoor installation only.
The operation of the CAN-CBX module in hazardous areas, or areas exposed to potentially explosive materials
is not permitted.
The operation of the CAN-CBX module for medical purposes is prohibited.
Service Note
The CAN-CBX module does not contain any parts that require maintenance by the user. The CAN-CBX module does not
require any manual configuration of the hardware. Unauthorized intervention in the device voids warranty claims.
Disposal
