Thermal Safety; Mechanical Safety - WAGO 852-112/000-001 Manual

Safety
• When handling the product, please ensure that environmental factors (personnel, work
space and packaging) are properly equalized. Do not touch any conducting parts.
Lines
• Maintain spacing between control, signal and data lines and the power supply lines.
• Observe permissible temperature range of connecting cables.
• Use appropriate strain relief.
• Make sure the pin assignment is correct.
• Avoid reverse polarity of data and power supply lines, as this may damage the devices
involved.
Protect
• Observe the applicable standards for EMC-compatible installations.
Radio, etc.
• This is a Class A product. The product can cause radio interference in residential ar-
eas; in this case, the operator can be required to take appropriate measures to prevent
such interference.
• For industrial use: WAGO's 852 Series ETHERNET Switches are certified to be used
in residential and in industrial environments. If the latter, they should be considered as
exposed operating components. Therefore, in industrial applications, only install these
switches in lockable housings, cabinets or electrical operation rooms. Access must be
limited to authorized, qualified staff having the appropriate key or tool.
• Only use devices equipped with ETHERNET or RJ-45 connectors in LANs. Never con-
nect these devices with telecommunication networks.
Components
• Replace defective or damaged device/module (e.g., in the event of deformed contacts).

2.3 Thermal Safety

• The surface of the housing heats up during operation. Under special conditions (e.g., in
the event of a fault or increased surrounding air temperature), touching the product
may cause burns. Allow the product to cool down before touching it.
• If the surface temperature of the product can exceed 40 °C, wear protective gloves and
attach protective covers and/or touch-proof protection.
• The temperature inside the additional enclosure must not exceed the surrounding air
temperature permitted for the mounted product.

2.4 Mechanical Safety

• As the installer of the system, you are responsible for ensuring the necessary touch-
proof protection. Follow the installation guidelines for the specific application.
• The surrounding air temperature for operation indicated in the technical data applies to
the nominal mounting position. Different mounting positions may affect the permissible
surrounding air temperature for operation.
• Cooling of the product must not be impaired. Ensure air can flow freely and that the
minimum clearances from adjacent products/areas are maintained.
• Do not install the product on or in the vicinity of easily flammable materials.
