Notes
This manual contains instructions concerning your personal safety. They are
introduced by a signal word expressing the seriousness of the danger:
DANGER means an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a possible hazard that could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a possible hazard that may result in injury.
In each case, the signal word of the highest applicable hazard level is used in a
warning. This means that if there is an indication of danger to life, there may also be
a danger of injury.
If a warning refers to an entire section or to a sequence of work steps, it precedes
them and is structured as follows.
⚠ SIGNAL WORD 0Nature and source of the hazard
Consequences of the danger
🢂An action step to avert the consequences of the danger
🢂Another action step to ward off the consequences of the danger
A warning notice that refers to an individual work step immediately precedes it and
is structured as follows:
1. Previous work step
⚠SIGNAL WORD: Nature and source of the hazard
Consequences of the danger
🢂Action step to avert the danger
🢂Further action step to avert the danger
2. Work step to which the note refers
3. Subsequent work step

• Only use the device in closed and dry rooms.
• Do not expose the device to high ambient temperatures or direct sunlight. Ob-
serve restrictions with regard to the maximum ambient temperature.
• Keep ventilation openings free and maintain a distance of at least 10cm bet-
ween the rule.box and neighboring heat sources.
• Observe nominal values for input voltage and output currents.
• During installation, ensure that no free-hanging wires protrude into the interior of
the device. Make sure that no individual wires are sticking out of stranded wires.
Use wire end ferrules.
• Screw the terminals tightly.
• Screw down unused terminals.
• Only use power supplies that ensure safe isolation of the low-voltage side from
the supply mains in accordance with EN62368-1 and have „LPS“ property.
