6.5 Return an item
If a Fusesaver is faulty, please contact
your local Siemens Service Center to
organize for return, investigation and
repair as required.
6.6 Spare parts
To ensure that the Fusesaver operates
reliably, spare parts must be replaced
only by trained and certified personnel.
To order spare parts, a MLFB ordering
code is required – please contact the
Siemens Service Center.
6.7 Manufacturer’s
product liability
The manufacturer’s product liability
shall be excluded if at least one of the
following criteria applies:
• Original Siemens spare parts are
not used.
• Fitters carrying out replacements
have not been trained and certified
by Siemens. Parts have been
incorrectly fitted or adjusted.
• Settings are not made in accordance
with Siemens specifications.
• After installation and setting,
no final test is performed with
authorized person including
documentation of the test results.
6.8 Fusesaver disposal
The materials of the Fusesaver are
recyclable. Disposal of the Fusesaver
with minimum environmental impact
is possible on the basis of existing
legal regulations.
• The metal components can be
recycled as mixed scrap, although
wide-ranging dismantling into sorted
scrap and mixed scrap residues is
more environmentally sustainable.
• Electronic scrap must be disposed
of in accordance with applicable
regulations. All electronic modules
in Fusesaver are ROHS compliant.
6.9 Battery disposal
Material safety data sheets and
regulatory guides for the batteries are
available for download in the Siemens
Outdoor Systems Data Management
Cloud via authenticated user login
at https://sosdmc.siemens.cloud
These documents provide guidance
on hazardous waste categorization,
recycling and disposal.
In general, lithium batteries are
considered non-hazardous waste
when undamaged and the batteries are
spent. Batteries involved in a fire may
be considered to be hazardous waste.
The batteries contain recyclable
material and recycling is encouraged.
The Fusesaver consists of the
following materials:
• Steel
• Aluminium
• Copper
• Plastics
• Rubber materials
• Ceramics
• Electronic boards.
If the packaging is no longer needed,
it can be fully recycled.
Stored electrical energy inside Fusesaver
The Fusesaver contains stored electrical energy in
capacitors inside the unit. These capacitors could
have voltages of 170 V dc. Maintenance should
be performed only by factory approved Siemens
personnel.
Do not disassemble the Fusesaver without seeking
guidance from the Siemens Service Center as the
operator may be exposed to these dangerous
voltages.
