PS 9000 T Series Safety 1.7.1 Safety notices Mortal danger - Hazardous voltage • Electrical equipment operation means that some parts can be under dangerous voltage. Therefore all parts under voltage must be covered! This basically applies to all models, though 40 V models according to SELV can not generate hazardous DC voltage.
PS 9000 T Series 1.7.3 Responsibility of the operator Operator is any natural or legal person who uses the equipment or delegates the usage to a third party, and is responsible during its usage for the safety of the user, other personnel or third parties.
PS 9000 T Series 1.7.5 Alarm signals The equipment offers various possibilities for signalling alarm conditions, however, not for danger situations. They are signalled optically (on the display as text) and electronically (pin/status output of an analog interface) and digitally (digital interface). All alarms will cause the device to switch off the DC output.

PS 9000 T Series Alarms and monitoring 3.6.1 Device alarm handling A device alarm incident will usually lead to DC output switch-off. Some alarms must be acknowledged (see below), which can only happen if the cause of the alarm is not persistent anymore. Other alarms acknowledge themselves if the cause has vanished, like the OT and the PF alarm.
PS 9000 T Series Control panel (HMI) lock In order to avoid the accidental alteration of a value during manual operation, the rotary knobs or the touchscreen can be locked so that no alteration of values will be accepted without prior unlocking.
PS 9000 T Series Loading and saving a user profile The menu “Profiles” serves to select between a default profile and up to 5 user profiles. A profile is a collection of all settings and set values. Upon delivery, or after a reset, all 6 profiles have the same settings and all set values are 0. If the user changes settings or sets target values then these create a working profile which can be saved to one of the 5 user profiles. These profiles or the default one can then be switched. The default profile is read-only. The purpose of a profile is to load a set of set values, settings limits and monitoring thresholds quickly without having to readjust these. As all HMI settings are saved in the profile, including language, a profile change can also be accompanied by a change in HMI language. On calling up the menu page and selecting a profile the most important settings can be seen, but not changed. ► How to save the current values and settings (working profile) as a user profile...
PS 9000 T Series 3.10 Other applications 3.10.1 Series connection Series connection of two or multiple devices is basically possible, but for reasons of safety and isolation following restrictions apply: • Both, negative (DC-) and positive (DC+) output poles are coupled to PE via type X capacitors, limiting the max.
