2.2 Symbols 
For safety reasons the following symbols which may be used on the equipment or referred to 
in the equipment documentation, should be understood before it is installed or 
commissioned. 
 
 
 
Caution: refer to equipment documentation 
 
 
 
Caution: risk of electric shock 
 
 
 
Protective Conductor (*Earth) terminal 
 
 
 
Functional/Protective Conductor 
(*Earth) terminal 
 
Note:  This symbol may also be used 
for a Protective Conductor 
(Earth) terminal if that terminal 
is part of a terminal block or 
sub-assembly e.g. power 
supply. 
*NOTE:  THE TERM EARTH USED THROUGHOUT THIS TECHNICAL 
MANUAL IS THE DIRECT EQUIVALENT OF THE NORTH 
AMERICAN TERM GROUND. 
 
2.3  Installing, commissioning and servicing 
 
Equipment connections 
Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work for this 
equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety. 
The equipment documentation should be consulted before installing, 
commissioning, or servicing the equipment. 
Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may 
present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated.  
Any disassembly of the equipment may expose parts at hazardous voltage, also 
electronic parts may be damaged if suitable electrostatic voltage discharge (ESD) 
precautions are not taken.  
If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by 
all personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards.  
The equipment must be connected in accordance with the appropriate connection 
diagram.    
Protection Class I Equipment 
-  Before energizing the equipment it must be earthed using the protective 
conductor terminal, if provided, or the appropriate termination of the 
supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment.  
-  The protective conductor (earth) connection must not be removed since 
the protection against electric shock provided by the equipment would be 
lost. 
-  When the protective (earth) conductor terminal (PCT) is also used to 
terminate cable screens, etc., it is essential that the integrity of the 
protective (earth) conductor is checked after the addition or removal of 
such functional earth connections.  For M4 stud PCTs the integrity of the 
protective (earth) connections should be ensured by use of a locknut or 
similar. 
The recommended minimum protective conductor (earth) wire size is 2.5 mm² 
(3.3 mm² for North America) unless otherwise stated in the technical data section
