Redundancy Module QUINT-DIODE/40
4. Safety Notes and Warning Instructions
To ensure that the device can be operated safely
and all functions can be used, please read these
instructions carefully.
Installation and startup
must only be carried out by
qualified personnel. The relevant country-specific
regulations (e.g., VDE, DIN) must also be observed.
Before startup it is particularly important to ensure
that:
• All supply lines have sufficient fuse protection and
are the correct size.
• All output cables are the correct size for the
maximum device output current or have separate
fuse protection.
• Sufficient convection is ensured.
•To protect the device, the input current of 56 A must
not be exceeded. This is ensured if the supply is
provided from an automatic current limiting source
(e.g., QUINT POWER) or if a suitable fuse is
connected.
To meet directive 94/9/EU (ATEX), the following
safety notes must be observed:
• The QUINT-DIODE/40 redundancy module
corresponds to standard EN 50 021.
• This redundancy module may be installed within a
potentially explosive area, in which Category 3
equipment is required.
• When working on the redundancy module, observe
the national safety rules and regulations for the
prevention of accidents.
• The module must only be installed and operated by
qualified personnel.
• Installation should be carried out following the
instructions given in this data sheet.
• The QUINT-DIODE/40 redundancy module should
be installed in the control cabinet so that IP54
protection according to EN 60 529 or higher is
ensured.
• If dust is present, the device must be installed in
suitable housing. The device must not be subject to
mechanical strain or thermal load, which exceed the
limits described in this data sheet.
•To ensure sufficient convection, the following
minimum spacing should be provided between other
modules: 5 cm (1.969 in.) for vertical installation and
2 cm (0.787 in.) for horizontal installation.
• During operation only devices, which are suitable for
operation in potentially explosive areas of zone 2,
can be connected to the redundancy module.
• The redundancy module does not require
maintenance, is closed ex works, and should not be
opened. Repairs can only be carried out by the
manufacturer.
• The safety data and features provided according to
the valid conformance mark are listed after the
technical data.
