Fire hazards occur due to overloaded cables, electrical arcs, short circuits or sparking.
Sparking can occur with poorly serviced, soiled conductor rails or if installation does not comply
with the required tolerances.
→ Compliance with permissible current ratings is mandatory.
→ Tolerances must be observed during installation.
→ Install electrical protection as specified.
→ Easily combustible materials may not be stored in close proximity to conductor rails.
→ Check, service and clean conductor rails regularly and as specified. See Sections 8 and 11.
There is a risk of crushing of skin and limbs due to:
Consumer (spring force) during assembly, disassembly and maintenance.

Falling parts of the conductor rail system after improper installation or in case

of unsuitable operating conditions (for example, in areas containing solvents).
Moving parts, when the system is in operation.

→ Do not enter the danger zone of the system when in operation.
Exception: Maintenance and repair tasks.
→ Allow only trained technicians to carry out the installation.
→ When working on the conductor rail system, wear protective footwear, protective
gloves and protective headgear.
→ When changing the collectors or sliding contacts, follow Section 8.2 in these
mounting instructions.
→ Only install the conductor rail system where suitable operating conditions
prevail. See Section 3.6.
The ends of rails and connectors can have sharp edges, particularly if they have
been trimmed at the construction site and have not been deburred.
→ Use protective gloves and protective footwear.
→ Deburr the data rail after sawing.
→ Sawed through, dissembled data rails must be handled carefully and properly
stored (container or transport box).
→ Be on the lookout for sharp edges near the installation area and avoid contact.
