Before operating the device
VCAUTION!
●During installation and before operating the device, observe the
instructions on environmental conditions for your device.
●If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may
form both inside and on the outside of the machine.
Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is
absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused
to the device if this requirement is not observed.
●Transport the device only in the original packaging or in packaging
that protects it from knocks and jolts.
Installation and operation
VCAUTION!
●Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm
(lightning hazard).
●Make sure that no objects (such as bracelets or paper clips) fall into
or liquids spill into the device (risk of electric shock or short circuit).
●Proper operation of the device (in accordance with IEC 60950/
EN 60950) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and
the rear covers for the installation openings have been put in place
(electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression).

Safety notes
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components:
Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) are marked with the following label:
Figure 1: ESD label
When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:
●Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing
components containing ESDs.
●You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a
grounded object) before working.
●The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
●Only touch the components at the positions highlighted in green (Touch-
points).
●Do not touch any exposed pins or conductors on a component.
●Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the
system unit as you install components.
●Place all components on a static-safe base.
IYou will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the
relevant European or international standards (DIN EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).
