WARNING
Risk of injury due to electrical voltage!
Severe bodily injury or death can result! Therefore
please abide by the following:
· Switch off your installation before commenc-
ing work! Secure it against being switched on!
Check to be sure it is de-energized! Ground and
short circuit! Cover or block off adjacent live
parts!
· During operation and troubleshooting (espe-
cially for DIN rail devices), check your system
for dangerous voltages and switch these off if
necessary!
· Wear protective clothing and protective equip-
ment in accordance with applicable guidelines
when working on electrical systems!
· Before making connections to the device/the
component, ground the device by means of the
ground wire connection, if present.
· Do not touching bare or stripped leads that are
energized! Equip stranded conductors with wire
ferrules!
· Hazardous voltages can be present in all circuit-
ry parts that are connected to the power supply.
· Protect wires, cables and devices with a suitable
line circuit breaker/fuse!
· Never switch off, remove or tamper with safety
devices!
· There can still be hazardous voltages present
in the device or in the component even after it
has been disconnected from the supply voltage
(capacitor storage).
· Do not operate equipment with current trans-
former circuits when open.
· Only connect screw terminals with the same
number of poles and design!
· Do not exceed the limit values specified in the
user manual and on the rating plate! This must
also be observed during testing and commis-
sioning.
· Take note of the safety and warning notices in
the documents that belong to the device!
2.3 Product safety
The device reflects current engineering practice
and accepted safety standards, but hazards can
nonetheless arise.
Observe the safety regulations and warning no-
tices. If notices are disregarded, this can lead to
personal injury and/or damage to the product.
Every type of tampering with or use of this device,
· which goes beyond the mechanical, electrical or
other operating limits can lead to personal injury
and/or damage to the product;
· constitutes “misuse” and/or “negligence” under
the product’s warranty and thus voids the war-
ranty for any possible resulting damage.
Read and understand the user manual before
installing, operating, maintaining and using the
device.
Only operate the device when in perfect condition
and in compliance with this user manual and the
usage information that is included. Send defective
devices back to the manufacturer in compliance
with proper transport conditions.
Retain the user manual throughout the service life
of the device and keep it at hand for consultation.
When using the device, also observe the legal and
safety regulations for your system that are applica-
ble for the respective use case.
2.4 Dangers when handling the device
When operating electric devices, it is unavoid-
able for certain parts of these devices to conduct
hazardous voltage. Consequently, severe bodily
injury or material damage can occur if they are not
handled properly.
Therefore, when handling our devices, always
observe the following:
· do not exceed the limit values specified in the
user manual and on the rating plate! This must
also be observed during testing and commission-
ing!
· Take note of the safety and warning notices in all
usage information that belongs to the device!

5. Assembly and installation
The installation of the load management controller
Procont®-LMC-LITE, Procont®-LMC is carried out
as follows:
1. Install an isolation device (switch or circuit
breaker) and an overcurrent protective device
(2-10 A).
INFORMATION
As an alternative to the isolation device or
fuse, you can use a line circuit breaker.
2. Mount the measurement device in switchboard
cabinets or small distribution boards according
to DIN 43880 (any mounting orientation) on a
35mm (1.38in) DIN rail.
3. Press the bottom bolt into the device. Check
the device for a firm fit. The mounting orienta-
tion is arbitrary.
Press
4. Connect the device to your local network
using a standard RJ45 patch cable.
DANGER
Risk of injury due to electrical voltage!
Severe bodily injury or death can result from:
·Touching bare or stripped leads that are ener-
gized.
·Device inputs that pose a hazard when
touched.
Switch off your installation before commencing
work! Check to be sure it is de-energized!
5. Connect the supply voltage.
Refer to the rating plate for the proper supply
voltage for your device. After connecting the
supply voltage, the display becomes active. If
no display appears, check whether the supply
voltage is within the nominal voltage range.
