3. Dangers and Security Measures
3.1 Electrical Dangers
DANGER
The connectors contain components that carry voltage. Deadly hazard!
Always observe the following safety regulations before beginning any work on electrical
constructions:
X
Disconnect
X
Ensure that it is not possible to reconnect unintentionally
X
Clearly mark your work area
X
Make sure that there is no voltage present
X
Earth and short circuit the installation
X
Insulate or cover adjacent energized parts
X
Only an electrically skilled person may determine if there is no voltage present
WARNING
A wrong pin conguration of the contact inserts may cause a deathly electric shock.
X
Make sure that associated pin contacts and socket contacts are always inserted in the corre-
sponding contact cavities with identical pin conguration!
X
Make sure that contacts with phase assignment are not mounted into contact cavities which
are destined for the protective earthing (PE) contact!
X

3.2 Other Hazards
WARNING
Exclusively use the connectors for purposes as indicated in the specications and data sheets.
A wrong application can cause accidents and severe damages to persons.
X
The manufacturer doesn‘t take the responsibility for accidents which were caused by improper
use of the product.
X
We recommend the use of fault current safety systems in constructions with voltages higher
than safety extra-low voltage.
WARNING
The plugging and disconnecting of the connectors on-load can cause electric arcs. When explosive
substances or ignition sources of any kind are nearby, there is a risk of re and explosion!
X
Never plug and disconnect the connectors on-load.
