This product contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Please observe the
special instructions for their protection. Incorrect handling can damage the unit and cause the
invalidation of the warranty.
Minimum sa ety precautions against electrostatic discharge:
•stablish earth contact before you touch the unit. For example, touch the earthing screw on the
unit. ven better: Use an antistatic ribbon and earth yourself permanently for the time you
handle the unit.
•Avoid unnecessary contact with the unit connectors and assemblies inside the unit.
•Only open the unit if the operational settings (as described in the manual) expressly require this.
•Use antistatic tools for the setting of the unit. (Warning: Do not touch life-threatening voltages
with these tools).
•Do not store unit and components without protective packaging.
•Only remove unit and components from the packaging immediately prior to installation.
These notes are not su icient to guarantee complete protection rom electrostatic
discharges! We recommend the use o suitable protective equipment.

1Sa ety Instructions
The system described in this manual is for exclusive operation by trained employees. Only qualified
personnel that know the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings,
maintenance and repair of the units used.
Operational Sa ety
The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the
safety measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures.
If there is a possibility that safe operation cannot be guaranteed the system must be switched off and
secured against accidental use. Then the service unit responsible must be informed.
Sa ety Documents
This ILR system was designed, tested and supplied in perfect condition according to document I C348
Safety Requirements for lectronic Units of Class 1.
Condensate / Change o Temperature
Moving the systems from a cold to a warm environment could lead to dangerous situations due to
condensation. Therefore it must be ensured that the system can adjust itself to the warmer
temperature.
Do not open the housing
There is no need to open the housing in order to set any ILR unit. No unit has any internal setting
elements or displays. All settings are performed using software via the Service Interface.
Earthing
Before establishing any connections the housing of the system must be earthed.
Connections / Power Supply
The supply circuits must comply with the conditions set out for the S LV circuits (see N 60950).
The signal circuits must comply with the conditions set out for the S LV circuits (see N 60950).
Use screened cables for the power supply. This is the only way to achieve the prescribed MC.
During maintenance damage could occur if printed circuit boards or cables are connected or
disconnected whilst the power supply is still on. Therefore only work on the connection and the
components when they are not live.
Fuses
Only experts who are aware of the dangers involved may replace the fuses. It must be ensured that
only fuses of the required current rating and the correct type are used for replacement. The use of
repaired fuses and/or short-circuiting the fuse holders is prohibited.
Spare Parts
We recommend that only personnel, original products, spare and replacement parts authorized by
ID NT C SOLUTIONS be used for installation, service and repair. Otherwise ID NT C SOLUTIONS
does not accept any responsibility for materials used, work carried out or possible consequences.

Electrostatic Discharge
Semi-conductors of the type MOS or CMOS as well as two-pin types and precision resistance are
sensitive to SD. All components, printed circuit boards and auxiliary systems should therefore always
be classed as sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Before opening the cover the unit should be placed onto an SD-protected surface. As with all work on
modern electronic modules the use of SD clamps and SD mats during work on the unit is
recommended.
•Sufficiently protect all printed circuit boards that were removed from the unit from damage.
•Observe all normal precautions for the use of tools.
•Use SD-protected packaging material.
Never use measuring units with low impedance for measuring or testing systems with semi-conductor
components. Never use high voltage testing units or dielectric test units to test systems with semi-
conductor components.
If it is necessary to check the isolating properties of the field wiring, the assemblies (electronic units
and sensors) should be disconnected.

ID NT C SOLUTIONS does not accept returns of products where the regulations concerning the SD
precautions and protective packaging materials were not followed.
