Safety Information
Observe the following safety instructions when using the product.
Before first usage, read the product documentation in order to
ensure safe and reliable operation of SAM600 products.
Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though
auxiliary voltages are disconnected.
Each SAM600 product must be safely connected to ground using
the ground strap.
Only a competent electrician is allowed to carry out the electrical
installation.
Always follow national and local electrical safety regulations.
Non-observance of the safety information can result in death,
personal injury or substantial property damage.
Whenever changes in parameter settings are applied to SAM600
modules, take measures to avoid inadvertent tripping or malfunction
of connected protection and control devices.
