5.1 Installing the device 60817
►When installing the device in the automation system, use only suitable mounting accessories (e.g.
cable ties).
►When using cable ties, use the recesses of the machine as a guide (see figure).
►When attaching the cable ties, make sure that the status LEDs are not covered.
Fig.: Correct placement of the cable ties

The device must be connected by a qualified electrician.
►The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be
adhered to.
This device contains components that may be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
►Please observe the required precautions against electrostatic discharge!
The IP rating of the overall system depends on the protection ratings of the individual devices, the
applied connection elements and the corresponding protective caps.
►Use M12 connectors with gold-plated contacts.
The M12 connection parts in the device comply with the ingress resistance requirements of the
standard EN 61076-2-101. To adhere to the protection rating, only cables certified to this standard
must be used. The system architect undertakes to ensure the ingress resistance of cables they have
cut to length.
►Carry out the fitting according to the indications of the cable manufacturer. The maximum
permitted tightening torque is 1.8 Nm.
►During installation, place the M12 connectors vertically so that the coupling nut will not damage
the thread.
►Provide cables with a strain relief depending on the mounting conditions to avoid excessive strain
on the installation points and the M12 connections.
►Ensure correct fit and proper assembly of the M12 connecting parts. If these instructions are not
complied with, the specified protection rating cannot be guaranteed.
►Cover unused sockets with protective caps (→Accessories). Tightening torque: max 2.2 Nm.
►Wiring: →Technical data
►The ingress resistance of cables that users have cut to length must be guaranteed.
