1.6.1
Access restriction
The modules are open operating equipment and must only be installed in electrical equipment
rooms, cabinets, or housings.
Access to the electrical equipment rooms, cabinets, or housings must only be possible using a tool or
key, and access should only be granted to trained or authorized personnel.
1.6.2
Electrical installation
Observe the regional safety regulations.
1.6.3
Protection against electrostatic discharges
To prevent damage through electrostatic discharges, the following safety measures are to be followed
during assembly and service work:
•
Never place components and modules directly on plastic items (such as polystyrene, PE film) or in
their vicinity.
•
Before starting work, touch the grounded housing to discharge static electricity.
•
Only work with discharged tools.
•
Do not touch components and assemblies on contacts.
1.6.4
Overcurrent protection
Overcurrent protection isn't necessary as the device transports no load current. The power supply of
the device electronics is to be secured externally with a fuse of maximum 1 A (slow-blowing).
1.6.5
EMC protection
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in your control cabinets in electrically harsh
environments, the known rules of EMC-compliant configuration are to be observed in the design and
construction.
1.6.6
Operation
Operate the device only in flawless condition. The permissible operating conditions and performance
limits must be adhered to.
Retrofits, changes, or modifications to the device are strictly forbidden.
The device is a piece of operating equipment intended for use in industrial plants. During operation,
all covers on the unit and the installation must be closed in order to ensure protection against
contact.
