Indication and Use of the instructions

The sequence of the chapters is not necessarily the operation or assembly sequence.
Not all chapters apply for each component.

Indication:

• Pick out the pictogram for the corresponding component shown on the title page
• You will see in the chapters pictograms for which the mounting step applies
• Mounting starts with the plant, machine or wall mounting and the corresponding chapter

Safety instructions

    Do not reach into the tubes

    The excessive crushing, stretching and bending of power lines has to be avoided.

    The power line system has to be checked for abrasion points regularly.

    Mounting or the electrical connection of the power line system must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

    Do not damage seals during installation as otherwise the technical characteristics cannot be complied with.

    When using panel coupling components, always ensure that the stability of the mounting surface is suitable for mounting.

    The coupling components are designed for mounting centrally on the control enclosure.
Off-center installation is not permitted.

    The tightening torques of the screw connections should be inspected on a regular basis.
