can be identified by a KID number, beginning with a letter e.g. "Y", instead of the otherwise existing 7-
digit article number on the type plate. The product features result from the "PDU-ID", which is printed
on the type plate. For a repeat order, please quote the KID number.

Safety instructions
– The unit may only be assembled and installed by appropriately skilled personnel.
– Opening the PDU's housing is not allowed.
– The PDU must not come into contact with water, aggressive or inflammable gases or vapours.
– The PDU must only be operated within the specified ambient conditions (see section 3.3).
– The PDU is connected permanently to the mains power and does not have a main switch for the all-
pole mains power decoupling.
– Attention: The occurrence of a high touch current is possible, because the protective-conductor cur-
rent can lie above 5 mA by summation of the protective-conductor currents of the connected units.
Consequently, the unit must always be connected to the protective-earth conductor of the building's
electrical system.
