• Risk of fatal injury from connecting power supply units in series
Contact voltages > 25 V DC are no longer permitted.
Voltages > 120 V DC can be fatal to the touch.
– Do not connect power sources in a row.
• The ventilation slits of power supply units must not be covered. The devices must be placed on hard,
flame-resistant surfaces so that the air can enter the devices unhindered. The devices are primarily
cooled by convection.
• When working under electrical voltage, use only expressly suitable tools.
• Set the device up so that activation of switches and disconnectors is not rendered difficult.
• Risk of fatal injury from electrical shock
Protect the outputs of the power supply units (output sockets/terminals) and cables connected to them
from direct contact.
– Use only cables with adequate insulation and/or electric strength.
– Use safety sockets with touch-safe contact points.
• Safe operation of the device is no longer possible in the case of
– visible damage,
– faulty operation,
– inappropriate storage or
– inappropriate transport.
– Switch off the power immediately.
– Protect the device from being unintentionally turned on again.
• Disconnect the power before making or breaking electrical connections.
• Use only extra-low voltages (max. 24 V DC).
• Unused slots of the holder system must be covered with 19" blanking plates.
• Unused cable entries of the holder system must be covered with covers included with
the holder system.
