Basic Safety Notices ETAS
Requirements for operation
• Use the product only according to the specifications in the corresponding
User's Guide. With any deviating operation, the product safety is no lon-
ger ensured.
• Observe the requirements on the ambient conditions.
• Do not use the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Electrical safety and power supply
• Observe the regulations applicable at the operating location concerning
electrical safety as well as the laws and regulations concerning work
safety!
• Connect only current circuits with safety extra-low voltage in accordance
with EN 61140 (degree of protection III) to the connections of the module.
• Ensure the compliance with the connection and adjustment values (see
the information in the chapter "Technical Data").
• Do not apply any voltages to the connections of the module that do not
correspond to the specifications of the respective connection.
Power supply
• The power supply for the product must be safely disconnected from the
supply voltage. For example, use a car battery or a suitable lab power sup-
ply.
• Use exclusively lab power supplies with double protection to the supply
system (with double insulation / with reinforced insulation (DI/ RI)).
• The lab power supply must be approved for an operating altitude of
5,000 m and for an ambient temperature of up to 120 °C.
• For normal operation of the modules as well as for very long standby oper-
ation, it is possible that the vehicle battery will be drained.
Connection to the power supply
• The power cable may not be connected directly to the vehicle battery or
the lab power supply, but only via a suitable fuse.
• Ensure that the connections of the lab power supply, the power supply at
the module and the vehicle battery are easily accessible!
• Route the power cable in such a way that it is protected against abrasion,
damages, deformation and kinking. Do not place any objects on the
power cable!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Connect the power cable only with a suitable vehicle battery or with
a suitable lab power supply! The connection to power outlets is not
allowed!
To prevent an inadvertent insertion in power outlets, ETAS recom-
mends to equip the power cables with safety banana plugs in areas
with power outlets.
