1.2 Safety Standards Compliance

The device complies with the IEC61010-1 safety standard:

•Pollution: Degree 2

•Over-voltage category: CAT III

•Measurement category: CAT III

The device complies with the IEC60529 protection standard:

•Penetration of dust & water: Class I

•IP Rating: IP52

•Inadvertent contact

1.3 General Safety Information

Installation and maintenance of the device should only be performed by a qualified

and certified electrician/technician with appropriate training and experience with

high voltage and current devices.

Vecto IIIUser Manual

The device must be installed in accordance with the approved national electrical

codes.

If the device is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, protection from

electric shock, fire, etc. provided by this equipment may be compromised.

When the device is in operation, hazardous voltages will be present in certain parts of

the equipment. Failure to observe warning notices, incorrect use, or improper use may

endanger personnel and the device may cause personal injury or physical damage.

The terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may

present a hazardous voltage. Failure to properly earth the device will compromise the

correct functioning of the internal protection circuitry and may create a risk of electric

shock, injury or death.

Standard safety precautions must be followed while performing both the installation

and service work. The user must inspect the device and all accessories before use;

special attention must be given to the following:

•Damage to the device and accessories that might compromise personal

safety or risk to the installation.

•The operational rating of the input terminals

Do not expose the device to abnormal environmental conditions exceeding the

requirements for IP52.

The digital outputs are not intended for use within primary protection circuits.

Vecto III is intended for indoor installation and use only. If it is required for use in

an outdoor environment, then it must be mounted in a specific cabinet or housing

which will enable it to meet the requirements of IEC 60529 with the classification

of degree of protection IP52.

Do not use the device in situations where failure of the device can cause injury,

death, or cause sufficient energy to be released that may start a fire.
