Safety instructions

Certified usage

Only use the device for application cases that are described in the
Hirschmann product information, including this manual. Only operate the
device according to the technical specifications.
Supply voltage

The devices are designed for operation with a safety extra-low voltage.
Only connect SELV circuits with voltage restrictions in line with IEC/EN
60950-1 to the supply voltage connections.
The supply voltage is electrically isolated from the housing.
 Use undamaged parts.
 For BAT300-Rail: Make sure that the DC power supply line has a
maximum length of 3 meters.
 Relevant for North America: For use in Class 2 circuits. Only use
copper wire/conductors of class 1, 75 °C or 90 °C (167 °F or 194 °F).
Relevant for North America:
The device may only be connected to a Class 2 supply voltage that fulfills
the requirements of the National Electrical Code, Table 11(b). If the
voltage is being supplied redundantly (two different voltage sources), the
combined supply voltages must fulfill the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, Table 11(b).
 Relevant for North America:
Adapters for BAT-F types providing field wiring means you obtain from
the manufacturer. For field wiring, use a type E12-AA5A1A power
supply cable, manufactured by Belden.
Shielding ground

The shield of the connectable twisted pair cables is connected to the
metal casing of the device as a conductor.
 Beware of possible short circuits when connecting a cable section with
conductive shielding braiding.
Housing

Only technicians authorized by the manufacturer are permitted to open
the housing.
Warning!
Never insert sharp objects (small screwdrivers, wires, etc.) into
