The SPX contains a very small amount of mercury (Hg) 0.00322 in³ typically with a 6/18
configuration, as its transmission medium. If the diaphragm is damaged, mercury may
escape. Never transport or store the SPX without the protective cap. Remove the cap
shortly before installation.
If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical attention immediately!If mercury is inhaled or swallowed, seek medical attention immediately!

ESD sensitive component. Electrostatic discharge may damage the SPX. Take ESD
precautions.
Electrical shock can result in death or serious injury. Avoid contact with the leads and
terminals. High voltage that may be present on leads can cause electrical shock.

Earth the machine section with the screw-in trunnion/mounting hole for the SPX in
accordance with regulations. The SPX must be connected to earth via the screw-in trunnion/
mounting hole.
Connect the shield of the connecting cable on both sides, making sure it conducts with full and
continuous contact.
When introducing the connecting cable into an EMC compliant switch cabinet, for example, connect the
shield correctly (cable gland, conducting, full contact, continuous) to the conductive housing or route it
