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.

WARNING
Not observing fundamental safety instructions and residual risks
If the basic safety instructions and residual risks are not carefully observed in the Power
Module documentation, accidents involving severe injuries or death may occur.
•Adhere to the fundamental safety instructions.
•When assessing the risk, take into account residual risks.
WARNING
Improper transport or installation of the Power Modules
Serious injury, or even death and substantial material damage can occur if the Power
Modules are not transported or installed properly.
•Transport, install and remove the Power Modules only if you are fully qualified to do so.
•Take into account that in some cases the Power Modules are heavy and top-heavy –
and take the necessary precautionary measures.
•Always secure the Power Modules when installing or removing by securely attaching
them to crane hooks.
•Wear your personal protection equipment (e.g. safety shoes, gloves).

Introduction
2
This Manual describes the use of converters, based on PM240-2 Power Modules, for marine
applications.
The same technical requirements regarding function, ruggedness and protection & safety
apply for marine applications, just the same as for industrial applications. Therefore,
reference is made to the standard documentation available for the components involved.
However, marine-specific operating conditions require restrictions and/or additional
measures, which are explained in this Manual.
