Important
This symbol appears in the documentation whenever attention has to be
paid to something of particular importance.
Note
This symbol appears in the documentation whenever a reference is made
to another subject.
Warning
Repairs on equipment supplied by Fadal may only be carried out by Fadal
Service or repair centers authorized by Fadal using authorized genuine
Fadal supplied parts. Any defective parts or components are to be
replaced only by parts contained in the relevant spare parts list.
Disconnect the power supply before opening the equipment.
Emergency Stop facilities according to EN 60204 IEC 204 (VDE 0113) must
remain operative in all operating modes of the automation equipment.
Any disengaging of the Emergency Stop facility must not lead to
uncontrolled or undefined restart.
Whenever faults occurring in the automation equipment can lead to
substantial material damage or even grievous bodily injury, (i.e. are
potential dangerous faults), additional external precautions must be taken
or facilities must be provided ensuring or enforcing safe operation even
when a fault occurs (e.g. independent limit switches, mechanical
interlocks, etc.)
Caution
Connecting and signal lines must be installed so as to safely prevent
inductive and capacitive interference from affecting automation functions.
Warning
Correct transport, storage, erection and mounting as well as careful
operation and maintenance are essential for proper and safe operation of
the equipment. Non–compliance with warnings can result in severe bodily
injury or material damage.
Warning
The modules contain electrostatically sensitive components. Before
touching an electronic module, it is necessary to be electro-statically
discharged. The simplest way of doing this is to touch an electrically
conducting grounded object (e.g. a bare metal part of a switchboard or a
plug socket protective conductor) before touching an electronic module.
