1.7 Safety instructions
Please read this document and the safety instructions carefully. This document will help to define the
product area of application and to put it into operation. Additional documents (WPC-300 for the start-up
software) and knowledge of the application should be taken into account or be available.
General regulations and laws (depending on the country: e.g. accident prevention and environmental pro-
tection) must be complied with.
These modules are designed for hydraulic applications in open or closed-loop control cir-
cuits. Uncontrolled movements can be caused by device defects (in the hydraulic module
or the components), application errors and electrical faults. Work on the drive or the elec-
tronics must only be carried out whilst the equipment is switched off and not under pres-
sure.
This handbook describes the functions and the electrical connections for this electronic
assembly. All technical documents which pertain to the system must be complied with
when commissioning.
This device may only be connected and put into operation by trained specialist staff. The
instruction manual must be read with care. The installation instructions and the commis-
sioning instructions must be followed. Guarantee and liability claims are invalid if the in-
structions are not complied with and/or in case of incorrect installation or inappropriate
use.
CAUTION!
All electronic modules are manufactured to a high quality. Malfunctions due to the failure
of components cannot, however, be excluded. Despite extensive testing the same also
applies for the software. If these devices are deployed in safety-relevant applications,
suitable external measures must be taken to guarantee the necessary safety. The same
applies for faults which affect safety. No liability can be assumed for possible damage.
