Requirements for connecting the supply voltage
Before connecting the supply voltage, alwaysverify that the requirements
listed are complied with.
Device variant Requirements
All variants All of the following requirements are complied with:
The supply voltage corresponds to the voltage specified on the type
plate of the device.
The power supply conforms to overvoltage category I or II.
The power supply has an easily accessible disconnecting device (for
example a switch or a plug). This disconnecting device is clearly
identified. So in the case of an emergency, it is clear which
disconnecting device belongs to which power supply cable.
Relevant for North America:
The power supply cables are suitable for ambient air temperatures of
at least +75 °C (+167 °F). The wires of the power supply cables are
made of copper.
Exclusively for
device variants
featuring supply
voltage with
characteristic
value BB, FF, HH,
QQ:
The power supply cable is suitable for the voltage, the current and the
physical load. Hirschmann recommends a conductor cross section of
0.5 mm² to 0.75 mm² (AWG20 up to AWG18).
The following requirements are alternatively complied with:
Alternative 1 The power supply complies with the requirements
for a limited power source (LPS) according to
IEC 60950-1 or ES1 + PS2 according to IEC/
EN 62368-1.
Alternative 2 Relevant for North America:
The power supply complies with the requirements
according to NEC Class 2.
Alternative 3 All of the following requirements are complied with:
The power supply complies with the
requirements for a safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) according to IEC 60950-1 or ES1
according to IEC/EN 62368-1.
A back-up fuse suitable for DC voltage is
located in the plus conductor of the power
supply.
The minus conductor is on ground potential.
Otherwise, a back-up fuse is also located in the
minus conductor.
Regarding the properties of this back-up fuse:
See “General technical data” on page 59.
Exclusively for
device variants
featuring supply
voltage with
characteristic
value K9:
All of the following requirements are complied with:
A back-up fuse suitable for DC voltage is located in the plus conductor
of the power supply.
The minus conductor is on ground potential. Otherwise, a back-up
fuse is also located in the minus conductor.
Regarding the properties of this back-up fuse:
See “General technical data” on page 59.
The power supply cable is suitable for the voltage, the current and the
physical load. Hirschmann recommends a conductor cross section of
0.5 mm² to 0.75 mm² (AWG20 up to AWG18).
