ES720.1
Electrical safety and power supply
Observe the regulations applicable at the operating location concerning electrical safety as well as the laws and
•
regulations concerning work safety!
•
Connect only current circuits with safety extra-low voltage in accordance with EN 61140 (degree of protection
III) to the connections of the module.
•
Ensure that the connection and setting values are being followed (see the information in the chapter "Technical
data").
Do not apply any voltages to the connections of the module that do not correspond to the specifications of the
•
respective connection.
Power supply
The power supply for the product must be safely disconnected from the supply voltage. For example, use a car
•
battery or a suitable lab power supply.
•
Use only lab power supplies with double protection to the supply network (with double insulation/reinforced
insulation (DI/ RI)).
•
The lab power supply must be approved for an operating altitude of 5000 m and for an ambient temperature of
up to 70 °C.
In regular operation of the modules as well as very long standby operation, a discharge of the vehicle battery is
•
possible.
Connection to the power supply
The power cable must not be connected directly to the vehicle battery or lab power supply, but via a fuse of up
•
to 20 A.
Ensure that the connections of the lab power supply, the power supply at the module and the vehicle battery
•
are easily accessible!
•
Route the power cord in such a way that it is protected against abrasion, damages, deformation and kinking.
Do not place any objects on the power cord!
DANGER!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Connect the power cable only with a suitable vehicle battery or with a suitable lab power supply! The connection to
power outlets is not allowed!
To prevent an inadvertent insertion in power outlets, ETAS recommends to equip the power cables with safety banana
plugs in areas with power outlets.
Disconnecting from the power supply
The module does not have an operating voltage switch. The module can be de-energized as follows:
Disconnecting the module from the lab power supply
•
•
Separating device is the lab plug of the power cord or
•
Separating device is the plug of the power cord at the connection of the module
Disconnecting the module from the vehicle battery
•
Separating device is the lab plug of the power cord or
•
Separating device is the plug of the power cord at the connection of the module
•
•
Disconnecting the vehicle battery.
Approved cables
Use exclusively ETAS cables at the connections of the module!
•
Adhere to the maximum permissible cable lengths!
•
•
Do not use any damaged cables! Cables may be repaired only by ETAS!
•
Never apply force to insert a plug into a socket. Ensure that there is no contamination in and on the connection,
that the plug fits the socket, and that you correctly aligned the plugs with the connection.
Requirements for the location
•
Position the module or the module stack on a smooth, level and solid underground.
•
The module or the module stack must always be securely fastened.
Fixing the modules on a carrier system
When selecting the carrier system, observe the static and dynamic forces that could be created by the module
•
or the module stack on the carrier system.
