3. Intended Use
The intended use results from the listed standards in the data sheet.
Additional certifications might be necessary (e.g. E1 approval). Contact Deutronic Elektronik GmbH for specific
applications.
The device may only be installed and operated by qualified and instructed personnel.
A DC/DC converter converts DC voltage applied at the input into DC voltage with higher, lower or inverted voltage level.
The conversion is carried out by a periodically working electronic switch and one or more energy storages devices. The
DC/DC converters by Deutronic Elektronik GmbH are equipped with internal EMC filters to guarantee EMC conformity
according to basic industry standards. Nevertheless, additional measures may be necessary during the installation,
considering also the field of application and ambient conditions, to ensure EMC conformity with the applicable product
standards.
For the respective application, it is essential to consider whether a galvanic isolation is required between the inpu
t
and output circuits.
The DC/DC converter must be selected accordingly.

6.3 Cooling
•The cooling concept of the device is exclusively based on heat dissipation via contact cooling between the
device and installation surface.
•The system integrator bears the sole responsibility for a professional installation in the end application and the
control of sufficient heat dissipation from the device to the installation surface.
•To check the temperature development of the device, a reference measurement point is defined in the data
sheet.
•An excess of the maximum permissible temperature can lead to a power reduction of the device or even to a
protective shut-down.
•The use of low amounts of heat-conducting paste is recommended.
•A permanently good thermal connection must be ensured between the contact cooling surface of the device
and the installation surface.
•Avoid material with high thermal resistance such as stickers, varnish layers, pollutions between the contact
cooling surface and installation surface.
•Consider the maximum power loss of the device at the operating points when dimensioning the cooling
concept.
•The possible thermally induced operating states (power reduction, protective shutdown) must be considered
for the overall system.
•DVC(H)x3 with communication interface determine the internal temperature of the device at a specified
measuring point, which is not accessible from the outside. This temperature point refers to the temperature
thresholds for warnings and error states, which can be evaluated via CAN.
7. Installation and preparation for the operation
7.1 Connection
Device connection
•The type plate includes the valid connection dates.
•The maximum output current and maximum output power of the connected users may not exceed the nominal
values of the DC/DC converter.
•Only use accessory parts approved by Deutronic Elektronik GmbH.
•Tighten the connection clamps according to the torque specifications in the data sheet and secure them
against loosening.
•Before starting the installation and maintenance works, separate the system from all energy sources. Secure
against reconnection and ensure that no voltage is present. There is danger of electric shock.
•Do not wear any jewelry or metallic items during commissioning and maintenance works. There is danger of
severe burns because of short circuits.
•No single wires of braids may stick out. Braids must always be completely in the clamps. There is danger of
short circuits and burns.
•Loose fit of DC input and DC output connections may lead to spark formation or overheating. There is danger
of burns.

Protection
•Generally, the device does not have an input or output protection.
•The primary and secondary side protection of the DC/DC converter in the respective application is the
responsibility of the system integrator.
•Depending on the model, a fuse must be installed according to the data sheet.
Reverse polarity protection
•Generally, the device does not have an integrated electronical reverse polarity protection.
•Devices with connector connection technology may have mechanical reverse polarity protection on the device
side.
•When connecting the device, observe the correct polarity of the connection cables.
•Input and output may not be connected in reverse polarity. Danger of irreparable damages and fire.
Inrush current limitation
•Generally, the device does not have an integrated inrush current limitation.
•If required, intend an external inrush current limitation. The calculation of an external inrush current limitation
mainly depends on the input capacity of the device and the impedance of the used connection cables.
7.2 Cable routing
Cable routing
•All cables connected to the device must not contact the device housing to avoid damages caused by hot
surfaces.
•Lay the cables as freely as possible for a better cooling, however, pay attention to a sufficient fixation.
•Replace damaged cables and lines immediately. The device has to be decommissioned and protected agai
nst
being switched on again.
•Use empty conduits and feedthroughs if cables need to be led through sheet metals or other sharp-edged
parts to avoid mechanic damages.
•Lay all cables so that no damage or mechanical stress occurs. Never bend cables sharply.
•Only use copper cables for the connections of the device.
•If cables are damaged, danger of fire as well as electrical shock exists.
Thermal overheating of the cable isolation may be caused by:
oHot surfaces of the device
oWinding or bundling of input and/or output cables
oJoint routing of the input and output cables of the DC/DC converter.

Cable dimensioning
•Observe the relevant norms for the cable dimensioning such as VDE 0298-4:2013-06.
•Select the nominal cross section of each conductor so that its current load is not smaller than the maximum
permanent current that flows through the conductor under normal conditions.
Additionally, consider possible overcurrent and transients.
•The limit temperatures of insulating covers and sleeves may not be exceeded.
•Consider the resistance against environmental influences and the expected mechanical load in the respective
application.
•If cables are damaged, danger of fire as well as electrical shock exists.
Thermal overheating of the cable isolation may be caused by:
oHot surfaces of the device
oWinding or bundling of input and/or output cables
oJoint routing of the input and output cables of the DC/DC converter.
EMC – approved cable routing
•Due to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), input and output cables have to be laid with as much distance to
each other as possible. Ideally, cables are routed away from the device on the opposite sides of the housing
without the cables touching the device housing.
•
The DC/DC converter is intended as a component for the installation into a system. The conformity certificates
for the system have to be rendered by the system integrator.
•The output cables of the DC/DC converter need to be laid to the user as closely and parallel as possible due
to electromagnetic compatibility.
•Interface cables (if existing) may only be connected to the device in a shielded version with a shield at both
ends.
•Interface cables must be laid separately from the input and output cables of the device.
7.3 Communication interface
•The device internal interfaces are galvanically separated from the input and output of the DC/DC converter.
•Use interface cables with a shielding at both ends.
