Connecting the functional earth FE
CAUTION
Connect functional earth!
Ensure that the functional earth (FE) is connected correctly.
Fault-free operation is only guaranteed if the functional earth is connected properly.
• BPS 8 with cable (option) and open cable end:
- Use shielded cables (see chapter 12.5 "Accessories – Cables").
- Connect the shield in the switch cabinet to FE (functional earth).
- The BPS 8 is usually connected to an earthed steel structure (PE). To prevent com-
pensating currents, FE and PE must be configured for potential equalization.
• BPS 8 connected via MA 8...:
- Use shielded cables (see chapter 12.5 "Accessories – Cables").
- Connect PIN 5 of MA 8 PWR connection cable to FE.
- The BPS 8 is usually connected to an earthed steel structure (PE). To prevent com-
pensating currents, FE and PE must be configured for potential equalization.
