Safety Instructions
When working with the DN-DP module follow the instructions below and read the manual
carefully to protect yourself and the DN-DP module from damage.
The permitted operating position is specified as shown (Fig. 2). Other operating positions are
not allowed.
Do not open the housing of the DN-DP module
Never let liquids get inside the DN-DP module. Otherwise, electric shocks or short circuits may
result.
Protect the DN-DP module from dust, moisture and steam.
Protect the DN-DP module from shocks and vibrations.
In order to prevent overvoltage damage due to thunder storm, unplug the DN-DP from
PROFIBUS-DP and the DeviceNet beforehand.
The DN-DP module may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation
around the DN-DP module and use care when handling.
Do not operate the DN-DP module adjacent to heat sources and do not expose it to unnecessary
thermal radiation. Ensure an ambient temperature as specified in the technical data.
Do not use damaged or defective cables to connect the DN-DP module .
In case of damages to the device, which might affect safety, appropriate and immediate
measures must be taken, that exclude an endangerment of persons and domestic animals and
property.
Current circuits which are connected to the device have to be sufficiently protected against
hazardous voltage (SELV according to EN 60950-1).
The DN-DP module may only be driven by power supply current circuits, that are contact
protected. A power supply, that provides a safety extra-low voltage (SELV or PELV) according
to EN 60950-1, complies with this conditions.
Conformity
The DN-DP is an industrial product and meets the demands of the EU regulations and EMC
standards for industrial environments printed in the conformity declaration at the end of this manual.
Warning: In a residential, commercial or light industrial environment the DN-DP may cause radio
interferences in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Qualified Personal
This documentation is directed exclusively towards qualified personal in control and automation
engineering. The installation and commissioning of the product may only be carried out by qualified
personal, which is authorized to put devices, systems and electric circuits into operation according
to the applicable national standards of safety engineering.
