Operation is not impaired at angles up to 60" total clearance of atleast 30mm must be allowed between the live terminal ofthe surge counter and any earthed abject, | © Siemens AG - 10/2003 3Connections to the surge counter may be made with either cable or bare conductor with suitable ter- rmination to the M12 line and earth studs, which are nickel plated brass. Care should be taken when tightening the connections to avoid overstressing the terminals and the use of two spanners is rec- ‘ommended. Should bare conductor be used this also be isolated from any earthed structure by 30mm. The max. torque with tightening the nuts/mothers may not are exceeded: > M12: 40Nm Maintenance Under normal operating conditions this product does not require any maintenance, except for periodic cleaning of the glass and the line bushing. The tightness of the connections should be checked at the same time. No electrical tests should be undertaken to the counter without the previous agreement of the manu- facturer. Disposal arrester and arrester accessories Surge arresters and the accessories are an environmentally compatible product. In disposal, priority must be given to reuse of the materials. Environmentally acceptable disposal of the surge arresters and the accessories is possible in line with current legistation The following materials have been used to make up the device: Steel, copper, aluminium, PTFE, cast resin or cast-resin-impregnated fabric, glass-fibre-reinforced plastics, polyurethane, rubbers for seal- ing, ceramics, electronic components and silicon rubber (VMQ), ceramics (porcelain, metal oxide) The device can be recycled as mixed scrap, or, fit is dismantled as far as possible, in a more envi- ronmentally acceptable way as sorted scrap with a mixed-scrap residual portion. The arrester resistors cf metal oxide (MO) should be disposed of as industrial waste similar to domestic garbage (not as building rubbie). In as-supplied-by-Siemens state, the device incorporates no hazardous substances in the sense of the pertinent regulations in Germany. If the device is to be operated outside Germany, the locally applica- ble laws and regulations must be followed. Local customer support offices willbe able to answer any questions conceming disposal. a © Siemens AG + 10/2003
