7. Operation
Danger
Risk of sustaining injury due to damaged device
There is a risk of sustaining major injury or death if the
device is damaged.
• Do not use the device if there is external damage.
• Mark the possibly damaged device, so that no other
person will continue to use it.
• Have a qualified electrician rectify the damage without
undue delay.
• Have an electrician take the device out of service if
necessary.
The receptacle combinations may be designed with different
protection classes (e. g. IP 44 or IP 67).
For the compliance with the protection class of the device,
only electrical consumers of the same protection class
version are to be combined and operated with the recepta-
cle combination.
Information on the protection class of your receptacle
combination can be found in the "Technical Data" chapter
or on the name plate of the device.
If a plug of protection class IP 44 is inserted into a
receptacle combination of protection class IP 67, the
receptacle combination only meets the requirements of
protection class IP 44!
Consequence: limited protection function!
• Observe the protection class of the receptacle combination
and the consumer to be connected.
• Connect consumers with the same protection class and
a suitable plug device to the device in order to avoid
reducing the effect of the protection class.
