Product-specific safety instructions - VdS shunt lock

Damage as a result of voltage potentials

Working on the live system can cause damage to the system.

1. Disconnect the system from the power supply before carrying out any soldering or connecting work.

ESD damage caused by unsuitable soldering irons

Soldering work with unsuitable soldering irons can damage electronic components.

1. Only use galvanically isolated soldering irons with temperature control.

Damage due to aggressive vapours

The block lock components are affected by metal or plastic decomposing vapours.

1. Keep the block lock components away from metal or plastic decomposing vapours.

Deteriorated communication due to improper cabling

Unsuitable cables, interrupted wires and improper shielding may affect the communication between the components.

1. Use suitable, shielded cables (like common telephone wire Y(ST)Y).
2. Minimize the number of clamping points.
3. Connect the shield to the earthing soldering lugs (PE). Then connect the screen on one side to a suitable earth potential, e.g. a busbar or a ring earth electrode.
4. Refer to the manual for further information on proper cabling.
