Signal terms and
definitions
Hazards are classified in accordance with ISO 3864-2 using the following keywords:
• DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION, where there is a risk of personal injury
• NOTE, where there is a risk of material damage.
Hazards are classified and indicated in the operating instructions and on the vacuum
circuit-breaker as follows:
Qualified personnel For the purpose of these operating instructions and the warning notices on the vac-
uum circuit-breaker, qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with the trans-
port, storage, set-up, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the
product and who have qualifications relevant to their work, e. g.:
• Training and instruction, or authorisation to energise, de-energise, clear, earth
and tag circuits and equipment in accordance with established safety practices.
• Training or instruction in the proper care and use of protective equipment in
accordance with established safety practices.
• Training in first aid.
Product liability
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation.
If the hazard is not avoided, it will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation.
If the hazardous situation is not avoided, it could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation.
If the hazardous situation is not avoided, it could result in minor or moderate
injury.
Note
Indicates a potentially harmful situation.
If the harmful situation is not avoided, the product or an item in its vicinity can
sustain damage.
Note
Product liability claims are upheld only if the replacement of the purchased spare
parts is performed by personnel that have been trained and certified by Sie-
mens.

Transport, storage and packing
Transport
Transport weight Refer to the delivery documents for the weight of the transport unit.
Place the transport unit on a level, non-slip and pressure-resistant surface for inter-
mediate storage.
Transport vacuum circuit-breaker to the installation site or storage location in its orig-
inal transport unit.
Transporting with crane or fork lift
WARNING
Heavy transport weight
Transport unit may fall and fail and sling gear may break.
Use lifting gear, transport and sling gear suited to the requirements and load-car-
rying capacity. Observe transport symbols.
Note
Observe stacking height
For transport, no more than 3 identical transport units may be stacked on top of
each other.
Observe loads specified on the transport unit.
Note
Secure load
For transport, secure the load in such a way that the transport unit is not at risk.

Transporting with packing Transport the transport unit to the installation site or storage location
• with a fork lift or
• with sling gear suspended from a crane
- at a spreading angle of approx. 60° or
- with a spreader bar.
After receipt of delivery:
Checking the transport
unit
• Check the transport unit for damage.
• Major damage must be documented photographically.
• Ensure that any damage to the transport unit is confirmed by the transport com-
pany in writing.
Unpacking
Working equipment Required tools:
- Knife/scissors
- Lifting equipment with lifting gear
- Pliers or lever.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from sharp edges!
Fasteners may break and have sharp edges.
Always use a suitable tool to lever out fasteners.
Note
Do not cut open or damage the carton, since it is designed to be reused and
because of the belt straps located underneath.
Belt straps could be severed on the pallet floor when cutting open the carton.
The vacuum circuit-breaker is attached to the pallet with belt straps. It is not per-
mitted to transport the vacuum circuit-breaker on the pallet without using belt
straps (see Fig. 3 to Fig. 4).
Note
Risk of tipping over due to shift in centre of gravity!
Vacuum circuit-breakers with mounted contact arms may tip onto the contact sys-
tem if not fixed.
Before undoing the belt straps, ensure that the vacuum circuit-breaker is posi-
tioned safely and hook sling gear to the points marked with crane hooks.

Opening the transport unit • Place the transport unit on a level, non-slip and pressure-resistant surface.
• Remove lifting gear or transport means.
• Remove plastic wrap.
• Lever out fasteners from the carton and lift off carton (see Fig. 2).
• Remove film from the vacuum circuit-breaker.
• In the case of overseas packaging, push the lower film onto the pallet floor.
• Check that the delivery is complete.
• Check vacuum circuit-breaker for damage.
Fig. 2 Removing the fixings from the carton
Note
Do not use the vacuum circuit-breaker in case of damage such as breaks, cracks,
flaking, bent metal parts, damaged plug-in contacts, tears or bare cables.
Send it back in its original transport unit (see “Reuse of transport unit”, page 9).

Transport to the
installation site
• Remove all tensioning belts and bits of fastening wood.
• Remove supplementary equipment and store safely in the packaging for later
installation.
Fig. 3 Example - two vacuum circuit-breakers Fig. 4 Example - one vacuum circuit-breaker
Note
Material damage due to incorrect mounting of sling gear!
Using chains or steel ropes will damage the pole shells. Use only ropes, hose
sheaths or belts.
Only use the lifting eyes for sling gear.
1) Diameter of the hook cross-section max. 19 mm
2) Opening width of the hook min. 18 mm
• Hang sling gear only into the lifting eyes.
• Adapt the length of the belts so that the belts are
flush with the pole shells during transport. The pole
shells serve as stabilisation for the vertical transport
position.
• Transport to installation site or leave suspended
from crane for further work steps.

Note
Keep supplementary equipment on hand for installation.

Reuse of transport unit
Reusing the transport unit The pallet and the carton as well as most of the components can be reused if the
vacuum circuit-breaker is to be transported again.
Do not reuse severed tensioning belts or plastic wraps.
Pack the vacuum circuit-breaker in reverse order:
• Attach the vacuum circuit-breaker safely to the pallet using the appropriate
tools.
• Cover with film and seal with adhesive tape.
• Attach supplementary equipment.
• Close carton securely.
• Before returning to the factory, ask the responsible Siemens representative for a
returned goods number (see also “Service”, on page 53).
• When returning a vacuum circuit-breaker, always specify the type and serial
number (see “Name plate”, on page 28).
Storage
Note
Store the vacuum circuit-breaker in the following condition:
• OPEN switching position
• Closing spring discharged
Note
Risk of corrosion damage if stored improperly!
If the storage conditions listed below are met, the vacuum circuit-breaker can be
stored for up to a year in its transport unit.
If the storage conditions are not met, the vacuum circuit-breaker cannot be stored
in the transport unit for longer than 6 months.
If storage for more than one year is planned, unpack the vacuum circuit-breaker
from the transport unit. Further storage may necessitate fresh corrosion protec-
tion, and it must be ensured that the vacuum circuit-breaker cannot be damaged.
