Safety
6.1.1
Notes on the electrical installation
■
The electrical installation must only be performed by electrically qualified person‐
nel.
■
Standard safety requirements must be met when working on electrical systems.
■
Only switch on the supply voltage for the device when the connection tasks have
been completed and the wiring has been thoroughly checked.
■
When using extension cables with open ends, ensure that bare wire ends do not
come into contact with each other (risk of short-circuit when supply voltage is
switched on!). Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
■
Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the customer's power system must be
selected in accordance with the applicable standards. When this is being done in
Germany, observe the following standards: DIN VDE 0100 (Part 430) and DIN VDE
0298 (Part 4) and/or DIN VDE 0891 (Part 1).
■
Electrical circuits connected to the device must be configured as SELV circuits
(SELV = safety extra-low voltage) in accordance with IEC 60950-1 or ES1 in accor‐
dance with IEC 62368-1.
NOTE
Layout of data cables
■
Use screened data cables with twisted-pair wires.
■
Implement the screening design correctly and completely.
■
To avoid interference, e.g. from switching power supplies, motors, clocked drives,
and contactors, always use cables and layouts that are suitable for EMC.
■
Do not lay cables over long distances in parallel with power supply cables and
motor cables in cable channels.
6.2
Prerequisites for safe operation of the device
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current!
As a result of equipotential bonding currents between the device and other grounded
devices in the system, faulty grounding of the device can give rise to the following dan‐
gers and faults:
■
Metal housings are vulnerable to dangerous currents.
■
Devices will behave incorrectly or be destroyed.
■
Cable shielding will be damaged by overheating and cause cable fires.
Remedial measures
■
Only skilled electricians should be permitted to carry out work on the electrical sys‐
tem.
■
If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the voltage supply immediately and
have the damage repaired.
■
Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all grounding points.
■
Where local conditions do not meet the requirements for a safe earthing method,
take appropriate measures (e.g., ensuring low-impedance and current-carrying
equipotential bonding).
