Important notes on the correct use of
GB
xComfort products
General information, use:
xComfort products are designed for use in private homes and
similar, fixed electrical installation systems. Applicable standards
can be found in the CE declarations of conformity included in the
mounting instructions supplied with each product.
Installation:
z
Installation and connection of xComfort products may be car-
ried out by an authorized specialist only (e.g. electrician).
z
Eaton installation recommendations need to be respected,
in addition to all relevant national installation and construc-
tion regulations.
z
Appropriate fuse protection with overvoltage protection in the
distribution cabinet is required (coar-se protection and surge
protection).
z
Overvoltage in the system network caused by other electri-
cal consumers (e.g. switching of loads) is not allowed, filters
need to be provided.
z
Data transmission in the system network used (e.g. ripple
control signals from the electricity supplier) and harmonics
are not
allowed, filters need to be provided.
Temporary, short brightness variations of dimmed lamps are
z
usually caused by the above-mentioned ripple control signals,
they are not caused by any defect of our devices.
Ambient conditions and technical data as specified in our
z
catalogues or mounting instructions need to be respected,
especially those referring to:
Degree of protection (IP20) for in-house use
Degree of pollution
Ambient temperature
Humidity (non-condensing)
Operating temperature (also taking account of other,
additional heat sources)
Operating voltage and frequency
Correct and allowed max. load
De-rating (reduction of performance)
z
The mains power supply needs to be disconnected before
doing any installation jobs.
z
Mechanically and/or electrically damaged xComfort devices
MUST NOT be installed or bro-ught into operation. They need
to be replaced by new xComfort devices.
xComfort devices MUST NOT be exposed to any mechanical
z
stress (e.g. mechanical pressure on the devices or strain on
connection wires).
xComfort devices MUST NOT be changed, neither in techni-
z
cal, mechanical and/or electrical terms.Exception: Shortening
of connection wires.
z
Devices must not be opened.
z
xComfort devices must be and stay accessible for program-
ming, replacement and maintenance purposes (i.e. NO wall-
paper on distribution boxes, NO immuring etc).
Torques for screw-type terminals on the device need to be
z
respected! For terminals from third-party suppliers (e.g. lustre
terminals) you need to respect the manufacturers' technical
data.
z
Once the job has been done, all the installation boxes need to
be closed again. All live components need to be touch-proof.
z
Installation boxes and distributors must be flame-retardant in
compliance with the respective rules and regulations.
z
Neutral conductor displacements in the system network used
are NOT allowed and can
destroy/damage the devices.
z
Phase and neutral conductor need to be correctly connected.
z
Protective earth PE needs to be provided where required by
terminal equipment (e.g. lamp with a metal housing).
z
After removing any xComfort actuators, the incoming capaci-
tor of the actuators needs to be discharged (risk of electric
shock).
z
Connecting the sensors and loads or consumers has to be
done in accordance with the technical section of our cata-
logue or with the mounting instructions supplied with each
product. All technical data and recommendations need to be
respected.

z
Any connection wires not used must be touchproof.
Country-specific waste disposal and environ mental regula-
z
tions (e.g. for defective devices, bat-
teries, ...) need to be respected.
Applications:
z
xComfort products MUST NOT be used for safety installations
and safety-relevant functions, especially for:
Safety temperature switches and limiting equipment of
heating systems
Final position detection and switch-off or safety func-
tions related to the influence of the weather on shading
systems (wind,rain,hail ...)
Safety and EMERGENCY STOP functions in general
Conventional fire alarm systems
Conventional alarm systems/installations
Etc.
Miscellaneous:
Participation in an Eaton xComfort training is a pre-requisite
z
for specialists who are to install xComfort products.
z
In case of any doubt, missing information or incomplete
technical data, contact Eaton before starting the installation
job.
z
Service life specifications (e.g. for batteries of push-buttons or
for relays of actuators) are approximate values only. Their real
service life may vary depending on the different applications,
but this is not due to a deficiency of our xComfort devices.
z
If you have any questions, suggestions or complaints, please
get in touch with your Eaton contact or with your Eaton
installation or sales representative.
z
Any loss or deterioration of the wireless connection due to
external influences (e.g. changes in the building, impact of
other systems, influence of the weather, e.g. of rain on wire-
less routes in outdoor areas...) is not within Eaton's respon-
sibility.
For safety reasons you need to provide a system password
z
upon start-up of the xComfort system. However, a 100% pro-
tection is impossible. Therefore, Eaton cannot be held liable
for any manipulations by third parties.
z
For combinations of xComfort devices with thirdparty prod-
ucts (e.g. ballasts, electr. transformers) Eaton cannot guaran-
tee the compatibility of the devices due to the wide range of
different products on the market.
z
Eaton shall not assume any responsibility for technical
changes, errors and misprints.
Guarantee/Warranty:
z
In case of a failure to comply with the instructions or in case
of inappropriate use, any warranty or guarantee claims will
cease to exist and are therefore NOT in Eaton's responsibility.
z
In case of any installation mistakes and consequential dam-
ages, e.g. short-circuits, Eaton shall NOT accept any liability.
z
Nor shall EATON accept any liability, neither direct nor
indirect, for the functioning of systems/applications that have
been started up or configured and/or programmed by any
third party.
