2.3 Residual risks
Unless otherwise indicated, the following residual risks apply to all types:
2.3.1 Sharp edges
Packaging boxes and mechanical parts of the thermostats (e.g. housing, sensor or tab terminal) can
have sharp edges. People can cut themselves into hands or fingers.
Wear safety gloves.
2.3.2 Sensor tip
People can stab themselves at the sensor tip. In particular, there is a risk that the sensor tip deflects
unexpectedly due to the force of a spring and injures the eyes.
Handle the sensor carefully.
Wear safety glasses.
2.3.3 Live parts
The following factors can cause an electric shock:
Live parts suddenly become accessible due to mechanical damage.
Do not use thermostats that are damaged (e.g. cracks).
The protective earthing of the thermostat housing, sensor and capillary tube of thermostats with
protection class I is missing or insufficient.
Observe valid standards and national guidelines.
Make sure that the thermostat housing and capillary tube are properly and permanently connected
to earth potential (e.g. with a capillary tube grounding clamp)
– or –
install sensor insulated.
Voltage is carried over from external voltage-carrying components via the capillary tube to the touchable
sensor.
Use thermostats with an insulated capillary tube or ensure that there is sufficient distance to live
components.
The thermostat is installed without being de-energized beforehand.
Installation should only be carried out by qualified staff.
Make sure that all supply voltages are switched off before installation.
Clearances and creepage distances are disregarded when installing in the housing.
Observe valid standards and national guidelines.
Thermostats do not have an IP protection class.
Install the thermostat in a suitable housing protected from dust and moisture.
With temperature regulators and temperature limiters: The basic insulated metal axis is exposed. There
is a risk of an electric shock if touched.
