Work and safety instructions
General
• Trainees should only work with the circuits under the supervision of a trainer.
• Observe the specifications included in the technical data for the individual components and in particular
all safety instructions!
• Faults which may impair safety must not be generated in the training environment and must be
eliminated immediately.
Mechanical setup
• Mount all the components securely onto the slotted profile plate.
• Observe the instructions regarding positioning of the components.
Electrical setup
• Only use extra low voltages, maximum of 24 V DC.
• Establish or interrupt electrical connections only in the absence of voltage!
• Only use connecting cables with safety plugs for electrical connections.
• Only pull the safety plugs when disconnecting connecting cables – never pull the cable.
Mounting technology
The mounting boards for the components are equipped with mounting variants A, B or C:
• Variant A, snap-in system
Lightweight components that are not subject to loads (e.g. directional control valves, sensors). Simply
clip the components into the slots on the slotted profile plate. Release the components by actuating the
blue lever.
• Variant B, bolt
Components subject to medium loads (e.g. pneumatic cylinders). These components are clamped onto
the slotted profile plate using T-head bolts. The blue, knurled nut is used for clamping and releasing.
• Variant C, screw system
For components that will be subject to heavy loads and components that are rarely removed from the
slotted profile plate (e.g. on-off valve with filter regulator). The components are fastened using socket
head screws and T-head nuts.
