2 Organization of safety notices

Safety notices in this manual are organized as follows:
Safety notice Description
Danger! Disregarding these safety guidelines and notices can be life-threatening.
Caution! Disregarding these safety guidelines and notices can result in severe injury or substantial damage to property.

3 Guidelines

E
European dimension standards apply to all dimension diagrams in this document.

All dimensions are specified in mm.

Unless otherwise specified, the following general tolerances apply:
Range of nominal sizes General tolerance according to
DIN ISO 2768 (medium)
Up to 6 mm ±0.1 mm
For 6 to 30 mm ±0.2 mm
For 30 to 120 mm ±0.3 mm
For 120 to 400 mm ±0.5 mm
For 400 to 1000 mm ±0.8 mm

Chapter 3 • Safety guidelines

1 Intended use
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs), operating/monitoring devices (industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Pan-
els, etc.) and B&R uninterruptible power supplies have been designed, developed and manufactured for conven-
tional use in industrial environments. They were not designed, developed and manufactured for any use involving
serious risks or hazards that could lead to death, injury, serious physical damage or loss of any kind without the
implementation of exceptionally stringent safety precautions. In particular, such risks and hazards include the use
of these devices to monitor nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants, their use in flight control or flight safety sys-
tems as well as in the control of mass transportation systems, medical life support systems or weapons systems.

Safety guidelines
Chapter 3
2 Protection against electrostatic discharge
Electrical components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be handled accordingly.

2.1 Packaging

• Electrical components with a housing

...do not require special ESD packaging but must be handled properly (see "Electrical components with
a housing").
• Electrical components without a housing
…are protected by ESD-suitable packaging.

2.2 Guidelines for proper ESD handling

Electrical components with a housing

• Do not touch the connector contacts on connected cables.
• Do not touch the contact tips on circuit boards.

Electrical components without a housing

The following points apply in addition to the points listed under "Electrical components with a housing":
• Any persons handling electrical components or devices with installed electrical components must be
grounded.
• Components are only permitted to be touched on their narrow sides or front plate.
• Components should always be stored in a suitable medium (ESD packaging, conductive foam, etc.). Metal-
lic surfaces are not suitable storage surfaces!
• Components should not be subjected to electrostatic discharge (e.g. through the use of charged plastics).
• Ensure a minimum distance of 10 cm from monitors and TV sets.
• Measuring instruments and equipment must be grounded.
• Probes on potential-free measuring instruments must be discharged on sufficiently grounded surfaces be-
fore taking measurements.

Individual components
• ESD protective measures for individual components are thoroughly integrated at B&R (conductive floors,
footwear, arm bands, etc.).
• These increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not necessary for customers
handling B&R products.

3 Policies and procedures

Electronic devices are never completely failsafe. If the programmable control system, operating/monitoring device
or uninterruptible power supply fails, the user is responsible for ensuring that other connected devices, e.g. motors,
are brought to a secure state.
When using programmable logic controllers or operating/monitoring devices as control systems together with a soft
PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or comparable product) or slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable product),
safety precautions relevant to industrial control systems (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as emergency
stop, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and international regulations. The same applies
for all other devices connected to the system, such as drives.
All tasks such as the installation, commissioning and servicing of devices are only permitted to be carried out by
qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those familiar with the transport, mounting, installation, commissioning
and operation of devices who also have the appropriate qualifications (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident preven-
tion regulations must be observed.
The safety notices, information on connection conditions (type plate and documentation) and limit values specified
in the technical data are to be read carefully before installation and commissioning and must always be observed.

4 Transport and storage

During transport and storage, devices must be protected against undue stress (mechanical loads, temperature,
moisture, corrosive atmospheres, etc.).

5 Installation
• These devices are not ready for use upon delivery and must be installed and wired according to the spec-
ifications in this documentation in order for the EMC limit values to apply.
• Installation must be performed according to this documentation using suitable equipment and tools.
• Devices are only permitted to be installed by qualified personnel without voltage applied. Before installation,
voltage to the control cabinet must be switched off and prevented from being switched on again.
• General safety guidelines and national accident prevention regulations must be observed.
• Electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with applicable guidelines (e.g. line cross sections,
fuses, protective ground connections).

6 Operation

7 Environmentally friendly disposal

All B&R programmable controllers, operating/monitoring devices and uninterruptible power supplies are designed
to inflict as little harm as possible on the environment.

Figure 3: Power supply

The pinout is listed in the following table and printed on the back of the Power Panel. The Power Panel has reverse
polarity protection that prevents the supply voltage from being connected incorrectly and damaging the device.
Overload protection must be provided by an external fuse (5 A, fast-acting).

Important!
The ground potential (which has a spade terminal) must be connected to ground (e.g. control cabinet)
using the shortest possible path.
