2.1 General Safety Rules
• This documentation is part of the product. Therefore, retain the documentation during
the entire service life of the product. Pass on the documentation to any subsequent
user of the product. In addition, ensure that any supplement to this documentation is
included, if necessary.
• The product must only be installed and put into operation by qualified electrical special-
ists per EN 50110‑1/-2 and IEC 60364.
• Comply with the laws, standards, guidelines, local regulations and accepted technol-
ogy standards and practices applicable at the time of installation.
2.2 Electrical Safety
• Make sure the product does not carry any voltage before starting work.
Grounding/Protection/Fuses
• When handling the product, please ensure that environmental factors (personnel, work
space and packaging) are properly equalized. Do not touch any conducting parts.
Cables
• To minimize interference (e.g., by electromagnetic interference), maintain a spatial
separation between control, signal and data lines and the power supply lines.
• The specified conductor cross-sections refer exclusively to the mechanical connection
capacity of the clamping points. Always use connecting cables designed for the maxi-
mum current load.
• Additional heat can be produced at the clamping point by high currents and inherent
heat generated by the product. Plan a higher tenmperature range for the conductors,
or reduce inherent heat by selecting larger conductor cross-sections.
• Use appropriate strain relief.
2.3 Mechanical Safety
• Before startup, please check the product for any damage that may have occurred dur-
ing shipping. Do not put the product into operation in the event of mechanical damage.
• Do not open the product housing.
• The product is an open-type device and is designed for installation in an additional en-
closure, which supplies the following safety aspects:
– Restrict access to authorized personnel and may only be opened with tools.
– Ensure the required pollution degree in the vicinity of the system.
– Offer adequate protection against direct or indirect contact.
– Offer adequate protection against UV irradiation.
– Prevent fire from spreading outside of the enclosure.
– Guarantee mechanical stability.
