WARNING
Electromagnetic interference due to inadequate shield support
A lack of adequate shield support for the power cables can cause malfunctions and
impermissibly high levels of interference.
• Use the shield connection plates supplied or recommended.
• Use the shield connection clips recommended.
WARNING
Spread of re from built-in devices
Built-in devices can cause a re and a pressure wave in the event of a fault. Fire and smoke can
escape from the control cabinet and cause serious personal injury and property damage.
• Install built-in appliances in a robust metal control cabinet that is suitable for protecting
people from re and smoke.
• Only operate built-in devices with the control cabinet doors closed.
• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.
WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to electromagnetic elds
Converters generate electromagnetic elds (EMF) in operation. Electromagnetic elds may
interfere with active implants, e.g. pacemakers. People with active implants in the immediate
vicinity of an converter are at risk.
• As the operator of an EMF-emitting installation, assess the individual risks of persons with
active implants.
• Observe the data on EMF emission provided in the product documentation.
CAUTION
Symptomatic respiratory and skin reaction to chemicals
A newly purchased product might contain traces of substances that are identied as sensitizers.
Sensitizers are substances which can cause sensitization in the lungs and skin after exposure
to them.
Once sensitized, individuals can have severe reactions to further exposure, even in small
amounts. In the most extreme cases, individuals might develop asthma or dermatitis
respectively.
• If the product has a strong smell, keep it in a well-ventilated area for 14 days.
