Safety instructions When using ISOMETER®s in IT systems, make sure that only one active ISOMETER® is connected in each interconnected system. If IT systems are interconnected via coupling switches, make sure that ISOMETER®s not currently used are disconnected from the IT system and deactivated. IT systems coupled via diodes or capacitances may also influence the insulation monitoring process so that a central control of the different ISOMETER®s is required.
IT systems Any other use, or any use which goes beyond the foregoing, is deemed to be use other than for the intended purpose. The Bender companies shall not be liable for any losses or damage arising therefrom.
Safety instructions 2.5 Directions for installation Risk of property damage due to unprofessional installation! If more than one insulation monitoring device is connected to a conductively connected system, the system can be damaged. If several devices are connected, the device does CAUTION not function and does not signal insulation faults.
