3 Safety precautions
Important information
Read these operating instructions before starting the unit. They provide you with important information
on the use, safety and maintenance of the units. This helps you to protect yourself and prevent
damage to the unit.
Information intended to help you to avoid death, bodily harm or considerable damage to
property is highlighted by the warning triangle shown here; it is imperative that this
information be properly heeded.
The operating instructions are intended for trained professional electricians familiar with the safety
standards of electrical technology and industrial electronics.
Store these operating instructions in an appropriate place.
The manufacturer is not liable if the information in these operating instructions is not complied with.
Safety
Installation work may only be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the relevant safety
regulations. Inside the housing there are no parts that must be accessible to the user during
installation or operation of the device. The housing must never be opened.
The repair and replacement of components and modules may only be carried out by the manufacturer
for safety reasons and due to the required compliance with the documented unit properties. .
Intended use
The units are intended for use in industrial environments. They may only be operated within the limit
values stipulated by the technical data.
When configuring, installing, maintaining and testing the units, the safety and accident-prevention
regulations relevant to use in each individual case must be complied with.
Trouble-free, safe operation of the units requires proper transport, storage, installation, mounting and
careful operation and maintenance of the units.
Mounting and installation
The attachment options for the units were conceived in such a way as to ensure safe, reliable
mounting.
The user must ensure that the attachment hardware, the unit carrier and the anchoring at the
unit carrier are sufficient to securely support the unit under the given surrounding conditions.
Sufficient space is to be kept clear around the units to ensure air circulation and to prevent the build-
up of heat resulting from use.
Grounding
All devices are equipped with a plastic housing and are operated with 24 V DV. They have a flat plug,
which is connected to the shield of the PROFINET sockets and the metal back wall. A connection with
the protective conductor is recommended.
EMC measures
The devices comply with the current EU Directive (EMC Directive) and provide the required
interference immunity. Observe the following when connecting the operating voltage and data cables:
Use shielded data cables.
The data and operating voltage cables must be laid separately. They may not be laid together with
heavy-current cables or other interference-producing cables.
