Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
personnel qualified
for the specific

On/off switch You switch on the device with the on/off switch. This requires that the
BIOS setup entry "After Power Failure" is set to "Power On".
The on/off switch does not isolate the device from the power supply.
Position "ON", when the "-)" symbol is pressed inward on the device.
Position "OFF" is the factory state.

•Switch on the PC: Briefly press once
•Shut down operating system and switch off PC: Briefly press once
•Switch off PC without shutting down the operating system (hardware
reset): Press for more than 4 seconds.
Note: The BIOS setup entry "After Power Failure" has been set to
"Power On". This means the device is switched on with the on/off
switch. You then do not need to press the on/off button.

General safety instructions
WARNING
Life-threatening voltages are present with an open control cabinet
When you install the device in a control cabinet, some areas or components in the open
control cabinet may be carrying life-threatening voltages.
If you touch these areas or components, you may be killed by electric shock.
Switch off the power supply to the cabinet before opening it.
System expansions
NOTICE
Damage through system expansions
Device and system expansions may be faulty and can affect the entire machine or plant.
The installation of expansions can damage the device, machine or plant. Device and
system expansions may violate safety rules and regulations regarding radio interference
suppression. If you install or exchange system expansions and damage your device, the
warranty becomes void.
Note the following for system expansions:
●Only install system expansion devices designed for this device. Contact your technical
support team or where you purchased your PC to find out which system expansion
devices may safely be installed.
●Observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility (Page 102).
NOTICE
"Open Type" UL508
Note that the device is classified as "Open Type" for use in the area of Industrial Control
Equipment (UL508). Installation of the device in an enclosure complying with UL508 for
specific permitted mounting positions (see corresponding section) is a prerequisite for
approval or operation in accordance with UL508.

WARNING
Risk of fire through expansion cards
Expansion cards generate additional heat. The device may overheat and cause a fire.
Please note the following:
•Observe the safety and installation instructions for the expansion cards.
•If in doubt, install the device in an enclosure that is compliant with sections 4.6 and 4.7.3
of the IEC/UL/EN/DIN-EN 60950-1 standard.
Battery and rechargeable battery
WARNING
Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances
Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries.
Explosion of the batteries and the released pollutants can cause severe physical injury.
Worn batteries jeopardize the function of the device.
Note the following when handling lithium batteries:
•Replace used batteries in good time; see the section "Replacing the backup battery" in
the operating instructions.
•Replace the lithium battery only with an identical battery or types recommended by the
manufacturer (order no.: A5E00331143).
•Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge,
do not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and
protect from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation.
High frequency radiation
NOTICE
Unintentional operating situations
High frequency radiation, e g. from a cellular phone, interferes with device functions and
can result in malfunctioning of the device.
Persons are injured and the plant is damaged.
Avoid high-frequency radiation:
•Remove radiation sources from the environment of the device.
•Switch off radiating devices.
•Reduce the radio output of radiating devices.
•Observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility (Page 102).
