Important notes on using the device

Safety notices on the use of the device
Note the following safety notices when setting up and operating the device and during all
associated work such as installation, connecting up or replacing the device.
Overvoltage protection
NOTICE
Protection of the external power supply
If power is supplied to the module or station over longer power cables or networks, the
coupling in of strong electromagnetic pulses onto the power supply cables is possible. This
can be caused, for example by lightning strikes or switching of higher loads.
The connector of the external power supply is not protected from strong electromagnetic
pulses. To protect it, an external overvoltage protection module is necessary. The
requirements of EN61000-4-5, surge immunity tests on power supply lines, are met only
when a suitable protective element is used. A suitable device is, for example, the Dehn
Blitzductor BVT AVD 24, article number 918 422 or a comparable protective element.
