4.4
Outdoor installation
Outdoor installation is possible up to -20
°
C when the controller supply is not switched off. Installation
must be protected from the effects of weather as much as possible, including protection from direct
sunlight!
4.5
Installation location for agriculture
When using for animal keeping, do not install the device directly in the stable but in a separate room
with a lower pollutant load. This helps to avoid damages caused by pollutant gases (e.g. ammonia
fumes, hydrogen sulphide fumes).
4.6
Temperature in
fl
uences during commissioning
Avoid condensation in the controller and functional faults attributable to condensation by storing the
controller at room temperature!

Safety precautions
Danger due to electric current
•
Work on electric components may only be carried out by trained electricians or by persons
instructed in electricity under the supervision of an electrician in accordance with electrical
engineering regulations.
•
The 5 electrical safety rules must be observed!
•
It is forbidden to carry out work on electrically live parts. Even after disconnection, the dc-link is still
live. Always wait at least 3 minutes.
•
Cover neighbouring electrical equipment during installation work.
•
Other measures may be necessary to achieve safe electrical isolation.
•
A second person must always be present when working on energized parts or lines who
disconnects in case of emergency.
•
Inspect electrical equipment periodically: retighten loose connections
–
immediately replace
damaged lines and cables.
•
Always keep switch cabinets and all electrical supply facilities locked. Access is only allowed for
authorized persons using a key or special tool.
•
Operating the device with the housing cover removed is prohibited because energized, exposed
parts are present inside the device. Disregarding this regulation can lead to severe personal injury.
•
For metal cable inlets the necessary protective earth connection to the bottom of the housing is
made by screws. The device may only be started up when these screws are
fi
tted properly.
•
The device owner is responsible for the EMC of the entire plant according to the locally applicable
standards.
•
Never clean electrical equipment with water or similar liquids.
Information
The respective connections are represented in the enclosure of this manual (
Connection diagram)!

EMC-compatible installation
5.2.1
Interference emission and installation of cables
In order to prevent faults attributable to interference and to ensure compliance with the radio interfer-
ence level, the connecting leads must be kept as short as possible both in the motor terminal box as
well as in the controller. Spacing between supply cables, motor cable and signal cable should thereby
be kept as large as possible.
The so-called
“
pig-tails
”
of the screen are to be avoided when connecting screened cables. The
screen shall be laid close up to the terminals and taken from here to the protective conductor
connection by the shortest possible route, laid
fl
at (low induction) and without loops.
When installing the controller in a switching cabinet, attention shall be paid that
“
live
”
(interference)
cables and interference-suppressed cables are not routed in the duct.
