This manual refers to multi-pole AC/DC power contac-
tors of the CF series with nominal voltages of 1,500 V
and 3,000 V. The contactors can be equipped with both
normally open and normally closed switching ele-
ments.
The CF series devices can be congured as normally
open/normally closed contactors or in combination as
a change-over. Depending on the conguration, the
following abbreviations are used in this manual:
NO = Normally Opened
NC = Normally Closed
CO = Change Over
Due to the high modularity, the CF series devices oer
a wide range of conguration options. Therefore, not all
possible congurations can be presented in this man-
ual.
Even if the congurations shown do not correspond ex-
actly to the present device, the installation and mainte-
nance steps can be carried out identically as described
in this manual.
2. General and safety information
The contactors dealt with in this document are intend-
ed for use with electrical systems for special applica-
tions. They are designed and tested in compliance with
generally accepted codes of practice. However, improp-
er use, operation, handling, maintenance of or tamper-
ing with electric equipment can cause serious or fatal
injury to the user or others, and the appliance or other
property can be damaged. Consequently, the opera-
tion, maintenance and installation instructions for the
contactors must be strictly followed.
If anything is not clear, clarication must be sought
with any queries stating the device type and the serial
number.
Only authorised and trained personnel are allowed to
plan and carry out all mechanical and electrical instal-
lations, transport, commissioning, as well as mainte-
nance and repair work.
This applies to the observation of the general installa-
tion and safety regulations for electrical systems as well
as the proper use of tools approved for this purpose.
Electrical equipment requires protection from moisture
and dust during installation, operation and storage.
