Safety regulations- connecting cable 
Use only AC or DC connecting cables which comply with the local safety regulations. 
Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and electric shock. This can result in personal injury or 
property damage.  
•  Ensure that the AC or DC connecting cables comply with the safety regulations of the 
country in which the device is installed and bear the marks required in each case. 
•  Connect the protective conductor in accordance with the operating instructions. 
 
The on/off button and on/off switch do not fully disconnect the device from the mains.  
There is also a risk of fire if the device or connecting lines are damaged.  
•  Always fully disconnect the device from the line voltage before performing work on the 
device or when the device will not be used over an extended period of time. 
•  For control cabinet mounting: Use an easily accessible central disconnect switch as 
near as possible to the device and connect the device to a protective conductor. 
•  When you install the device, make sure that the power supply connector is easily 
accessible. 
 
Note 
Safety extra-low voltage (SELV) 
•
  The device must only be connected to a 24 V DC power supply which meets the 
requirements of safe extra-low voltage (SELV) according to IEC/EN/DIN EN 60950-1. 
A protective conductor must also be used. 
  The conductors must withstand the short-circuit current of the 24 V DC power source, so 
that a short-circuit will not damage the cable. 
  Only connect cables with a minimum cross-section of 1.3 mm
2
 (AWG16) and a maximum 
cross-section of 3.3 mm
2
 (AWG12).
