2.2 Safety instructions
All safety instructions in this document are based on the results of the risk assessment carried out in
accordance with Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. Where applicable, all life cycle phases of the prod-
uct were taken into account.
Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
When establishing the voltages that exceed the specified safety extra-low voltage (according to IEC
60449 and VDE 0100), the insulating measures will be destroyed. There is a danger to life from elec-
tric shock at the communication interfaces.
►Connect only suitable devices to the bus system.
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock
Touching exposed and voltage-bearing elements causes an electric shock. Improper connection of
the mains supply leads to the risk of touchable live housing parts. There is a risk to life.
►Before the installation, check that the connection leads are voltage-free.
►Make sure that electrical installations are only carried out by qualified electricians.
►Provide adequate grounding for the device.
►After connection work, carry out an earthed conductor check.
