Storage and transport

To ensure subsequent trouble-free use of the electrical equipment, it must be stored in its original packaging, or in a suitable carton, in a dry, dust-free environment.
The electrical equipment must be transported in its original or equivalent packaging. The electrical equipment must be protected against impact and/or falling.
Unless deviating storage or transportation temperatures are defined in the productspecific documentation, a minimum temperature of -25°C and a maximum temperature of +40°C apply.

Installation and commissioning

1. Installation of electrical equipment not yet ready for use may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The statements in section 1 “Safety information” must be observed at all times!
2. Before initial installation and commissioning, the electrical equipment must be checked for possible damage (e.g. damage in transit, corrosion), for completeness and for soiling/ contamination. Damaged, dirty or incomplete electrical equipment must never be put to use! This also applies to internal components, such as connecting terminals.
3. Also pay attention to correct disposal of the packaging materials.
4. If specific safety information and/or product-specific documentation and/or customer agreements apply to the equipment, then these must be observed.
5. The electrical equipment may only be used in the prescribed operating position. Before commissioning, verify that the type/ degree of protection for each piece of electrical equipment is sufficient for the planned operating conditions. In the case of protection class IPX4, marked drainage holes must be opened in the lowest position. Direct exposure to sunlight must be avoided, because it could result in impermissible heating of the electrical equipment or condensation under certain circumstances.
6. The altitude of the installation site for the Bals equipment must not be higher than 2000 m above sea level, unless specified otherwise.
7. Electrical equipment for surface-mounted and/or flush-mounted installation as well as attachment and/or integration must be fitted using suitable fasteners (e.g. screws and dowels). The electrical equipment may only be secured at the points provided for this purpose. The introduction of additional fastening points not intended for this purpose (e.g. drilled holes) is not permitted. Furthermore, the clearances and creepage distances in conductive housings must be adhered to around breakthroughs.
8. Auxiliary materials, such as lubricants (oils, greases, etc.), may not be compatible with the material of the equipment.
9. Before installing the Bals equipment, attention must be paid to establishing the correct connection conditions appropriate for the type of supply network (TN system, IT system, TT system).
10. If the Bals equipment is not designed explicitly for aluminium conductors, then only copper cables may be used for installing the Bals equipment. The cable cross-section must be selected according to the power consumption and cable length of the terminal device. The cable type (flexible/rigid) must be selected in accordance with the enclosed documentation. The design criteria of the Bals equipment must be observed. An excerpt of the connection cross-sections for Bals plugs and sockets is specified in Table 1:

Table 1: Terminal cross sections
The following sheath stripping lengths as per Table 2 (excerpt) must be observed for Bals plugs and sockets. The stripped length of the cable must be fully inserted into the connecting terminal. Bals recommends the use of wire end ferrules. These must be suitable for the cable cross-section and installed according to standards with an appropriate wire stripping length.

Rated current| Dismantling length
(mm)| Stripping length
(mm)
---|---|---
Domestic-type| 50| 8 – 10
16A – CEE| 50| 10 – 12
32A – CEE| 50| 12 – 14

Table 2: Dismantling- and stripping length
To ensure correct installation of the Bals equipment, screws/ bolts and threaded components must be tightened to the torque specified in the enclosed documentation An excerpt of the torques for plugs and sockets is specified in Table 3.

Table 3: Torgues

Screwless connectors (e.g. screwless terminals, latch systems for fixing housing parts) must be brought to their end positions. The tightness of each connection must be checked.
Markings, labels, type plates must not be changed, removed or made illegible After installation and before commissioning/initial operation, a qualified electrician must check the correct function of the electrical equipment.
If the Bals equipment is installed or commissioned incorrectly, all guarantee, warranty and/or liability claims will be voided.

Operation and maintenance

The user must ensure that only Bals equipment suitable for the intended operating conditions at the point of use (e.g. network type, IP protection class, operating position, climatic conditions, etc.) is used.
For areas subject to special requirements (e.g. containers, ports, explosion- proof areas, etc.), the user must ensure that the equipment meets all the necessary area-specific criteria.
All Bals equipment must be used in the specified operating position.
Bals equipment is designed for the respective application and resulting mechanical loads.
It must not be loaded improperly (e.g. through use as a step, by loading with foreign objects, etc.).
Bals equipment is suitable for the following ambient temperatures and must not be exposed to any direct heat sources (e.g. smelting units). To prevent the electrical equipment from overheating, it must not be covered by any objects.

Product group| min. ambient temperature| max. ambient temperature| max. over 24h
---|---|---|---

Table 4: Ambient temperatures, experpt standards

Further information (e.g. chemical resistance or UV resistance of the Bals equipment) must be taken from the manufacturer’s specifications on the website (www.bals.com) or in the catalogue. Bals equipment may only be used under suitable environmental conditions.
Damaged electrical equipment must not be used. Particular attention must be paid to kinked or damaged cables.
Improper use (e.g. pulling the connector at the cable, dropping from a great height, throwing, etc.) is not permitted.
The Bals equipment must be cleaned on a regular basis to ensure that it operates correctly. The electrical equipment must be disconnected from the mains power supply before cleaning. Bals recommends cleaning with a clean, dry cloth. Should cleaning agents be used, the user must first ensure that the cleaning agent used is compatible with the Bals equipment (see also section 5.6).
Bals equipment must be serviced and inspected for damage at regular intervals, in accordance with the relevant national legal regulations and provisions of the country of use and depending on the actual application. This also includes checking the tightening torques of all threaded connections.
In order to minimise wear of connectors and sockets, we recommend that electrical consumers be unplugged/disconnected when switched off.

If the system allows connectors of a certain IP protection class to be inserted in plugs of another IP protection class, then the fact that the resulting IP protection class of the connector/socket combination corresponds to the lower of the two must be taken into account.
Any use of the Bals equipment going beyond use for the intended purpose will void all guarantee, warranty and/or liability claims.

Decommissioning and disposal

The electrical equipment must be disconnected from the power supply before decommissioning and disposal. The 5 safety rules (see section 1.5) must be observed prior to uninstalling.
The relevant, valid national legal regulations and provisions of the country of use must be observed for disposal.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive: According to European regulations, used electrical and electronic devices (equipment) may no longer be disposed of in unsorted waste. The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates the necessity for separate collection.
