SAFETY INFORMATION

All cable protectors in the DEFENDER® SERIES are designed to protect cables of all types against damage, and visitors as well as operators from injuries by tripping. To ensure these goals, the following safety instructions for use of the cable protectors must be observed:

• This user’s manual is an integral part of the product and must be read carefully before use.
• DEFENDER® cable protectors may only be used in accordance with their intended purposes and maximum load-bearing capacity. Valid parameters can be found in the detailed description of the respective product variant.
• DEFENDER® cable protectors are designed for use on firm and level ground. The load specified in the detailed descriptions is achieved only on level and solid ground. Load-bearing capacity may be greatly reduced on uneven or soft ground.
• Please note that additional markings/hazard warnings or even permits may be required when using cable protectors on public thoroughfares, walkways, etc.
• Use DEFENDER® cable protectors only with original replacement parts and accessories.

HAZARD
Incorrect insulation Life-threatening danger due to electric shock Only use cables that comply with the prescribed installation regulations with regard to voltage, current, insulation material, load capacity, etc.
Caution! Tripping hazard.

ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT:

• Do not modify the product in ANY way. Modifications to the DEFENDER® cable protector change the product’s characteristics, reduce its protective effect, and lead to a loss of the warranty. · Do NOT bridge over ANY ditches, shafts, stairs, or similar depressions.
• Do NOT support pedestals, scaffolding, beams, and similar on the cable protectors.
• Do NOT run rigid gas lines in the cable protectors.
• Do NOT run cables with a voltage >500V in the cable protectors.
• Fill the cable ducts up to a max. of 70% to the underside of the cover.

To ensure that the trip protection does not itself become a tripping hazard:

• Connect the cable protectors’ incomplete sections.
• Check that the connectors are flush for each installation.
• Check that the lid closures function for each installation.
• Make sure that the lid closure snaps securely into the base.
• Keep the hinge area and lid closure clean.
• Remove any excess lubricant from the hinges aftercare.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

All cable protectors in the DEFENDER® SERIES are made of extremely sturdy, non-breakable plastic (polyurethane). The protectors can be easily cleaned, even using a steam jet cleaner. In order to ensure trouble-free functioning, however, the hinge area and the lid closure should always be kept clean; slightly lubricate hinges and closure on a regular basis. For this, we recommend using a commercially available Teflon or silicone spray. Wipe off excess lubricant after application to avoid any risk of slipping.

SETUP

The cable protectors from the DEFENDER® series are easy and safe to set up. Surfaces, edges, and corners are designed in such a way that there is no danger of injury. Cable protectors with a weight of up to 20 kg can be transported safely by one person. Cable protectors weighing more than 20 kg can be transported safely by two people.
Each cable protector has connectors and corresponding sockets that enable you to connect cable protectors in the same series endlessly with one another. Generally, sections are stable enough to be walked on or driven over without any additional precautions. To find the right cable protector for your respective requirements, please see the attached detailed product description for the load-bearing capacity and use.
For the product versions DEFENDER® 3 AND ULTRA L 2, special holes for floor anchoring are provided. If complete sections from these product variants are exposed to increased requirements, so that there is a risk of the section shifting during use, we recommend additionally anchoring the section to the ground or floor. Please note that additional markings/hazard warnings or even permits may be required when using cable protectors on public thoroughfares, walkways, etc. The load-bearing capacity specified in the detailed descriptions is achieved only on level and solid ground.
Load-bearing capacity may be greatly reduced on uneven or soft ground. In such cases, you should conduct appropriate load tests before using the protector. We guarantee the load-bearing capacity of our cable protectors only with the proper use of unmodified products on firm and level ground. DEFENDER® cable protectors help protect pipes (e.g. water/sewage) and low voltage cables up to 500 V (e.g. communication/control cables/power supply).
The cable protectors are NOT suitable for rigid gas pipes. When using fragile couplings and connectors within the connected section, make sure there is sufficient space to either side and above. Each user is responsible for the manner of installation and selection of cables to be protected with the help of the DEFENDER® cable protectors. After installation (except for the COMPACT and OFFICE models), the lids can be opened by pulling them upward. They snap into the open position automatically and stay open until you close them again, thus making it easier to run your cables.
After running your cables, close the lid. When doing so, make certain that the lid closure snaps into the base securely. This is the only way to ensure that the lid stays closed under load.
DEFENDER® 3 2D
The wheelchair-friendly and modular DEFENDER® 3 2D system was developed based on our popular DEFENDER® 3. It consists of a DEFENDER® 3-compatible mid- section and a flat ramp that can be freely expanded and combined as required, both in length and width. For extremely simple handling. To ensure wheelchairs can safely cross cable protectors, ensure that the minimum width of the transverse cable protector is not less than 2000 mm.
