Installation
6.2.1 Conductor Connection
Select suitable conductors that do not exceed the permitted heating temperature within the
enclosure.
Ensure that conductors have the specified cross-sections.
Guide the conductor insulation so that it reaches the terminals.
Do not damage the conductor when stripping the insulation (e.g. by denting it).
Attach the core end sleeves properly.
If the system is equipped with all possible terminals and live conductors, and and the
maximum current load has been reached, ensure that the length of a conductor from the
screw connection to the terminal point does not exceed the diagonal planes of the
enclosure.
Operation under difficult conditions, such as on ships or in strong sunlight, requires
additional measures to be taken for correct installation, depending on the place of use.
Further information and instructions on this can be obtained from your regional sales
contact on request.
DANGER! Explosion due to excess heating inside the enclosure!
Non-compliance results in fatal or severe injuries.
Ensure that distances between Ex e electric circuits and Ex i electric circuits comply
with standards (EN IEC 60079-11).
Select suitable conductors that do not exceed the permitted heating temperature
within the enclosure.
Pay attention to the specified cross-sections.
Attach the core end sleeves properly.
DANGER! Explosion due to improper installation!
Non-compliance results in fatal or severe injuries.
Install the device carefully and only in accordance with the safety notes
("Safety" section).
The installation steps stated below must be carried out very precisely.
The necessary technical details/data on electric installation can be found in the following
documents:
"Technical data" chapter in these operating instructions
Documentation and data sheets provided by the terminal manufacturers
Documentation and data sheets of the installed devices (e.g. for specifications on
equipotential bonding, earthing and intrinsically safe circuits)
