5.6.3.2 Safety instructions
Non-observance of the safety instructions
If the safety instructions in Chapter 1 are not observed, accidents can occur involving
severe injuries or death.
• Make sure that the safety instructions are observed.
Fire through overheating due to insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances cause overheating with a risk for personnel due to smoke
and fire. This can also result in more downtimes and reduced service lives of the Terminal
Module.
• For this reason, it is imperative that you maintain the 50 mm clearances above and
below the Terminal Module.
Damage through the use of incorrect DRIVE-CLiQ cables
Damage or malfunctions can occur on the devices or system when incorrect or unreleased
DRIVE-CLiQ cables are used.
• Only use suitable DRIVE-CLiQ cables that have been released by Siemens for the
respective application.
