Correct usage of Siemens products
Please observe the following:

Siemens products may only be used for the applications indicated in the catalog and in
the relevant technical description. If third-party products and components are used,
these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. To ensure trouble-free and
safe operation of the products, they must be appropriately transported, stored, assem-
bled, installed, commissioned, operated and maintained. The permitted environmental
and ambient conditions must be adhered to. Notices in the relevant documentation
must be observed.
Changes to cabinet wiring!
Changes to cabinet wiring may only be performed in zero-voltage state! An additional
or modified wiring realized outside of the manufacturing enterprise requires an addi-
tional functional and insulation test.
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices ESD
Definition of ESD Almost all SIMATIC / FUM modules are equipped with highly integrated components or
elements in MOS technology. For technological reasons, these electronic components are very sensitive
to overvoltage and, consequently, to electrostatic discharge:
The short designation for such electrostatic sensitive components/modules is: "ESD", which is the com-
monly used international abbreviation of "ESD" (Electrostatic Sensitive Device).
NOTICE
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices ESD
The presence of this symbol on cabinet, rack or packaging labels indicates the use of
electrostatically sensitive devices and thus the touch sensitivity of these components.
These modules can be destroyed by voltage and energy far below the limits of human perception. Volt-
ages of this kind occur as soon as a device or an assembly is touched by a person who is not electrostat-
ically discharged.
