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
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.

2.1 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.
WARNING
The installer of the system is responsible for the safety of a system in which the device
is integrated.
There is a risk of malfunction which could result in death or serious injury.
•
Ensure that only suitably qualified personnel perform the work.
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.
•
Read the information on electromagnetic compatibility (Page 110).
