Product Usage Instructions

Safety Instructions:
Electrical devices should only be connected and mounted by a qualified electrician to prevent injury, fire, or property damage. Before working on the device, disconnect the power supply to avoid the danger of electrical shock. Adhere to national laws and standards.

Intended Use:

The overvoltage protection module is designed for electrical circuits as a class III device in accordance with IEC 61643-11.
It is intended for mounting on protective contact socket outlets with acoustic signaling to indicate function and a label to identify the protected circuit.

Mounting and Electrical Connection:

Push the overvoltage protection module onto the socket outlet from the rear and snap it into place on the support ring.
Connect the lines of the module to the socket outlet contacts in parallel, following the color code.
Connect the socket outlet to the mains voltage. Mount the socket outlet with the module in a device box.
Label the socket outlet for identification.

In Case of Fault:
If the integrated disconnecting device is triggered, an acoustic signal will sound continuously indicating a defective module that needs replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What should I do if the overvoltage protection module triggers an acoustic signal?
A: If the acoustic signal sounds continuously, it indicates a fault in the module due to high overvoltages. In this case, the module needs to be replaced.
Q: Can I install the overvoltage protection module myself?
A: No, electrical devices should only be connected and mounted by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and proper installation.

Safety instructions

Electrical devices may only be connected and mounted by a qualified electrician.
Serious injury, fire or damage to property possible. Read and follow these instructions completely.
Danger of electrical shock. Before working on the device or load, disconnect the power supply.
Observe national laws and standards (e.g. IEC 60364-5-53; VDE 0100 Part 534)!
These instructions are an integral part of the product and must remain with the end customer.

Intended use

Overvoltage protection module class III in accordance with IEC 61643-11 (type 3, EN 61643-11) for electrical circuits.
For mounting on protective contact socket outlets.
With acoustic signalling to indicate function and with label to identify the protected circuit.

Mounting and electrical connection

DANGER!

Electrical shock when live parts are touched.
Electrical shocks can be fatal.
Before working on the device, disconnect the power supply.
To do this, switch off all corresponding circuit breakers, secure them against being switched on again and ensure that they are de-ener-gised. Cover adjacent live parts.

Push the overvoltage protection module onto the socket outlet from the rear and snap it into place on the support ring (fig. 3).
Connect the lines of the overvoltage protection module to the socket outlet contacts in parallel. Observe the colour code (fig. 2).
Connect the socket outlet to the mains voltage.
Mount the socket outlet together with the overvoltage protection module in a device box.
Label the socket outlet (fig. 4).

In the event of a fault
If the integrated disconnecting device is triggered (e.g. due to multiple and very high overvoltages), an acoustic signal will sound continuously. In this case, the overvoltage protection module is defective and must be replaced.
