SAFETY
• Caution
Injuries can occur!
• Caution (instruction without symbol)
Substantial property damage can occur. Irrepa-
rable damage is possible!
• Safety instructions that refer to personal injury
appear in black and are always accompanied by a
safety symbol. Danger, prohibition or instruction
symbols are used as safety symbols.
Example:
Danger symbol: General hazard
Danger symbol, e.g. electrical current
Symbol for prohibited action, e.g. No entry!
Instruction symbol, e.g. wear protective
clothing
The safety symbols used conform to the generally
applicable directives and regulations, such as DIN
and ANSI.
• Safety instructions that only refer to materi-
al damage are printed in grey, without safety
symbols.

2.2. Personnel qualifications

Personnel must:
• Be instructed in the locally applicable accident
prevention regulations.
• Have read and understood the installation and
operating instructions.
Personnel must have the following qualifications:
• Installation and electrical work must be carried
out by an authorised electrician (in accordance
with EN 50110-1).
• The product must be operated by persons who
are instructed in the functioning of the complete
system.
Definition of "qualified electrician"
A qualified electrician is a person with appropriate
technical education, knowledge and experience
who can identify and prevent electrical hazards.

2.3. General safety information

• The electricity network must be switched off
before any work is performed (installation, dis-
mantling, maintenance). The switchgear must be
disconnected from the electricity network and
secured against reactivation.
• The operator must report any faults or irregulari-
ties that occur to a line manager immediately.
Installation and operating instructions Salmson-Control EC-L
• Where damage occurs to electrical components,
cables and/or insulation, the switchgear must be
shut down immediately by the operator.
• Tools and other objects should be kept in their
designated places.
• The switchgear may not be installed in potentially
explosive areas. There is a risk of explosion.
These instructions must be strictly observed.
Non-observance can result in injury or substan-
tial property damage.

2.4. Electrical work

DANGER due to electrical voltage!
Improper procedures during electrical work
may result in fatal injuries caused by electrical
voltage! This work may be performed only by
a qualified electrician.
BEWARE of moisture!
Ingress of moisture will result in damage to
the switchgear. During installation and opera-
tion, pay attention to the permissible humid-
ity and ensure the switchgear is installed so it
is overflow-proof.
The switchgears are operated with alternating
or three-phase current. The governing national
directives, standards and regulations (e.g. VDE
0100) as well as the requirements of the local
energy supply company must be observed.
The person operating the switchgear must know
where it is supplied with power and how to cut off
the supply. A residual-current device (RCD) must
be provided by the customer.
The section entitled "Electrical connection" must
be observed when connecting the product. The
technical specifications must be observed strictly!
The switchgear must always be grounded. To do
this, connect the protective earth conductor at
the earth terminal indicated (;). The cross-sec-
tion of the cable for the protective earth conduc-
tor must comply with the local regulations.
If the switchgear has been switched off by a
protective device, it must not be switched on
again until the fault has been corrected.
Use of electronic devices such as soft starters
or frequency converters is not possible with this
switchgear. Pumps must be connected directly.

2.5. Conduct during operation

When operating the switchgear, always follow
the locally applicable laws and regulations for
work safety, accident prevention and handling
electrical products. To help ensure safe working
practice, the responsibilities of employees should
be clearly specified by the operator. All personnel
are responsible for ensuring that regulations are
observed.
An interactive menu and a rotary knob on the
front of the housing are used to operate the
switchgear, display the operating state, and signal
