•
Maximum permissible current loads for connector cables and devices must not be exceeded.
–
Always compare the current ratings of the device, the connector cable and the fuse.
–
If these are not the same, use a separate upstream fuse in order to
provide appropriate overcurrent protection.
•
Always use connecting cables with safety plugs for electrical connections.
•
When laying connecting cables, make sure they are not kinked or pinched.
•
Do not lay connector cables over hot surfaces.
–
Hot surfaces are marked with a corresponding warning symbol.
•
Make sure that connecting cables are not subjected to continuous tensile loads.
•
The device is not equipped with an integrated fuse unless specified otherwise in the technical data.
•
Always pull on the plug when disconnecting connector cables; never pull the connector cables.
•
Hazard-free operation of the device is no longer possible in the case of:
–
Visible damage
–
Malfunction
–
Incorrect storage
–
Incorrect transport.
–
Switch off the power supply immediately.
–
Protect the device against inadvertent restart.
