Preface
Qualified Electrical Engineering Personnel
Qualified electrical engineering personnel may commission and operate the device described
in this document. Qualified electrical engineering personnel in the sense of this document are
people who can demonstrate up to date technical qualifications as electrical technicians
including safety and first aid training. These person may commission, isolate, ground and
label devices, systems and circuits according to the standards of safety engineering.
Use as Prescribed
The device may only be used for such applications as set out in the catalogs and the technical
description, and only in combination with third-party equipment recommended and approved
by Siemens.
Correct and safe operation of the product requires adequate transportation, storage,
installation and mounting in a control cabinet, as well as appropriate use and maintenance.
During operation of electrical equipment, it is unavoidable that certain parts of this equipment
will carry dangerous voltages. Severe injury or damage to property can occur if the
appropriate measures are not taken:
•
Before making any connections, ground the equipment at the grounding terminal.
•
Hazardous voltages can be present on all switching components connected to the power
supply.
•
The device does not represent a safety-oriented application; it does not provide fault
protection. Any fault protection must be provided by protection relays or other suitable
means.
•
Even after the supply voltage has been disconnected, hazardous voltages can still be
present in the equipment (capacitor storage).
•
LED display does not ensure that the connectors are free of voltage.
•
Equipment with current transformer circuits must not be operated while open.
•
The limit values indicated in the manual must not be exceeded; that also applies to testing
and commissioning.
Danger
Consider obligatory the safety rules for the accomplishment of works at electrical plants:
1. Switch off electricity all-pole and on all sides!
2. Ensure that electricity cannot be switched on again!
3. Double check that no electrical current is flowing!
4. Discharge, ground, short circuit!
5. Cover or otherwise isolate components that are still electrically active!
