CAUTION
Risk of injury or damage to the meter due to high
measurement currents at the connections of the
current transformers!
High measurement currents can cause temperatures
of up to 80°C (176°F) on the connections of the
current transformers
· Use wiring that is designed for an operating
temperature of at least 80°C (176°F)!
· The current transformers can be hot even after
the power supply has been switched off. Allow
the connections of the current transformers
and the connecting cables to cool down before
touching them!
CAUTION
Risk of injury or damage to the basic device (mod-
ule) and/or your system due to a short circuit!
Inadequate insulation at the current measurement in-
puts of the modules with respect to the supply circuits
of the basic device can cause dangerous voltages
at the measurement input or damage to your device
(module)/system.
· Ensure reinforced or double insulation with
respect tothe supply circuits!
WARNING
Risk of injury due to large currents and high elec-
trical voltage on the current transformers!
Current transformers operated while open on the
secondary side (high voltage peaks pose a hazard
when touched) can result in severe bodily injury or
death.
· Avoid operating the current transformers while
open; short circuit the unloaded transformers!
· Before interrupting the current supply, short
circuit the secondary connections of the cur-
rent transformers. Switch any test switches
that automatically short circuit the secondary
lines of the current transformers to the “Test”
status (Check the test switch/short circuiting
connection beforehand)!
· Only use current transformers with basic insu-
lation to IEC61010-1:2010!
· Caution, even current transformers rated as
safe for open operation can pose a hazard
when touched during operation while open!
· Make sure that screw terminals for the current
transformer connection on the device are ade-
quately tightened!
· Comply with the information and provisions in
the documentation of your current transform-
ers!
2.8 Safety information for handling measure-
ment devices with residual current mea-
surement
WARNING
Risk of injury or damage to the meter due to im-
proper use!
Meters with residual current measurement can trigger
warning pulses if limit values are exceeded, and these
are used exclusively for monitoring residual currents
or failure monitoring. Use of the warning pulses as a
stand-alone protective device against electrical shock
can lead to injury and even death!
· Do not use devices with residual current mea-
surement as a stand-alone protective device.
Employ suitable protective devices for your
system!
CAUTION
Risk of injury or damage to the meter/your system
due to short circuit!
Inadequate insulation of the operating equipment at
the residual current measurement input with respect
to the supply circuits can cause voltages at the
measurement input which represent a hazard when
touched or damage to your device or system.
· Ensure reinforced or double insulation with
respect tothe supply circuits!
· Ensure galvanic isolation of the residual current
measurement inputs from each other!
2.9 Handling batteries/accumulators
The following apply for the battery used in the de-
vice:
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to fire or burns!
The battery used in the device may cause fire or
burns if used improperly.
· Only replace the battery with the same type or
types recommended by Janitza!
· Observe the polarity when installing the bat-
tery!
· Remove batteries only with non-conductive
tools (e.g. plastic tweezers)!
· Do not recharge, disassemble, burn or heat
batteries above 100°C (212°F)!
· Do not dispose of batteries with household
waste! Follow the disposal instructions in the
respective device documentation!
· Keep batteries away from children and ani-
mals!
· In case of damage, return devices with a sol-
dered battery to the manufacturer, observing
proper transport conditions!
