General safety information

• The electricity network must be switched off before any
work is performed (installation, dismantling, maintenance).
The switchgear must be disconnected from the electricity
network and secured against reactivation.
• The person operating the switchgear must notify his or her
supervisor immediately should any faults or irregularities
occur.
• Where damage occurs to electrical components, cables
and/or insulation, the switchgear must be shut down im-
mediately by the operator.
• Tools and other objects should be kept in their designated
places so that they can be found quickly.
• The switchgear may not be installed in potentially explo-
sive areas. A risk of explosions pertains.
These instructions must be strictly observed.
Non-observance can result in injury or substantial
material damage.

Electrical work

DANGER due to electrical voltage
Improper procedures during electrical work may
result in fatal injuries caused by electrical voltage!
Such work may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
BEWARE of moisture!
Ingress of moisture will result in damage to the
switchgear. During installation and operation,
pay attention to the permissible air humidity and
ensure the switchgear is installed so it is safe from
overflow.
Our switchgears are operated with alternating or three-phase cur-
rent. The governing national directives, standards and regulations
(e.g. VDE 0100) as well as the requirements of the local energy
supply company must be observed.
The person operating the switchgear must know where it is sup-
plied with power and how to cut off the supply. A residual-cur-
rent-operated protection switch (RCD) must be provided by the
customer.
The section entitled "Electrical Connection" must be observed
when connecting the product. The technical specifications must
be observed strictly. The switchgear must always be ground-
ed. To do this, connect the protective ground conductor at the
ground terminal indicated (;). The cross section of the cable for
the protective ground conductor must correspond to the local
regulations.
