● The values lie in a range of typical < 250 mA.
; First connect the "PE" (protective earth) connection.
● The effective power in this operating state (readiness for operation) is
simultaneously at typical < 5 W. ; Connect the lines to the corresponding terminals.
Use a screwdriver to do so.
4.2.4 Residual current operated device During the connection work, ensure that no cables splice off.
Only universal (type B or B+) RCD protective devices are
permitted. Like frequency inverters, RCD protective devices
cannot provide personal safety while operating the device.
When switching on the power supply of the device, pulsed
charge currents from the capacitors in the integrated EMC filter
can lead to the RCD protective devices triggering without
delay. We recommend residual current devices with a trigger
threshold of 300 mA and delayed triggering (super-resistant,
characteristic K).

Operating instructions

6.1 Cleaning
NOTE
Damage to the device during cleaning.
Malfunction possible
→ Do not clean the device using a water jet or high-pressure
washer.
→ Do not use any cleaners containing acids,
bases or solvents.
→ Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects to clean.

6.2 Safety test

NOTE
High-voltage test
The integrated EMC filter contains Y capacitors. Therefore, the
trigger current is exceeded when AC testing voltage is applied.
→ Test the device with DC voltage when you carry out the
high-voltage test required by law. The voltage to be used
corresponds to the peak value of the AC voltage required by
the standard.
