cable shields.
● As a minimum, connect cable shields and the conductors of power cables that are not used
Arcing when a plug connection is opened during operation
Opening a plug connection when a system is operation can result in arcing that may cause
serious injury or death.
● Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a voltage-free state, unless it has
Electric shock due to residual charges in power components
Because of the capacitors, a hazardous voltage is present for up to 5 minutes after the power
supply has been switched off. Contact with live parts can result in death or serious injury.
● Wait for 5 minutes before you check that the unit really is in a no-voltage condition and start
NOTICE
Property damage due to loose power connections
Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in loose power connections. This can
result in damage due to fire, device defects or malfunctions.
● Tighten all power connections to the prescribed torque.
● Check all power connections at regular intervals, particularly after equipment has been
Spread of fire from built-in devices
In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of
