IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Keep the manual for future reference.
This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working.
The product has been designed and tested in accordance with international safety requirements. As with all electrical or electronical devices, some residual risks remain despite careful construction. To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product, read this section carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or cables are touched
High voltages are present in the conductive components or cables of the product. Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
- Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
- Disconnect the product from voltage sources and ensure it cannot be reconnected before working on the device.
- Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock in case of overvoltages and if surge protection is missing
Overvoltages (e.g., in the event of a flash of lightning) can be further conducted into the building and to other connected devices in the same network via the network cables or other data cables if there is no surge protection. Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
- Ensure that all devices in the same network are integrated in the existing overvoltage protection.
- When laying the network cable outdoors, ensure that there is suitable surge protection at the network cable transition from the product outdoors to the network inside the building.
- The Ethernet interface of the product is classified as "TNV-1" and offers protection against overvoltages of up to 1.5 kV.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to toxic substances, gases and dusts
In rare cases, damages to electronic components can result in the formation of toxic substances, gases or dusts inside the product. Touching toxic substances and inhaling toxic gases and dusts can cause skin irritation, burns or poisoning, trouble breathing and nausea.
- Only perform work on the product (e.g., troubleshooting, repair work) when wearing personal protective equipment for handling of hazardous substances (e.g., safety gloves, eye and face protection, respiratory protection).
WARNING
Danger when driving away with charging cable still attached
This can result in serious injuries or property damage.
- Disconnect the charging cable from the vehicle before leaving.
- Do not bypass the vehicle's safety device.
WARNING
Danger due to wet or contaminated connectors
Serious injuries or property damage can result due to burns caused by permanent exposure.
- Only mount the product vertically.
- Dry wet connectors in a de-energized state.
- Clean dirty connectors in a de-energized state.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to weight of product
Injuries may result if the product is lifted incorrectly or dropped while being transported or mounted.
- Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
NOTICE
Damage to the product due to sand, dust and moisture ingress
Sand, dust and moisture penetration can damage the product and impair its functionality.
- Only open the product if the humidity is within the thresholds and the environment is free of sand and dust.
- Do not open the product during a dust storm or precipitation.
NOTICE
Damage to the product due to cleaning agents
The use of cleaning agents may cause damage to the product and its components.
- Clean the product and all its components only with a cloth moistened with clear water.
DHCP Server is recommended
The DCHP server automatically assigns the appropriate network settings to your nodes in the local network. A manual network configuration is therefore not necessary. In a local network, the Internet router is usually the DHCP server. If the IP addresses in the local network are to be assigned dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the Internet router (see the Internet router manual). In order to receive the same IP address by the internet router after a restart, set the MAC address binding.
In networks where no DHCP server is active, proper IP addresses must be assigned from the free address pool of the network segment to all network participants to be integrated during commissioning.
IP addresses of Modbus devices
In systems with Modbus devices, static IP addresses must be assigned to all Modbus devices. Suitable IP addresses can be assigned to the Modbus devices from the free address supply of the network segment either manually or dynamically via DHCP.
If the IP addresses are to be assigned dynamically, DHCP must be activated in the router (see the router manual). Make sure that the Modbus devices do not contain variable IP addresses but always the same IP addresses (static DHCP).
This also applies to Data Managers that are used as subordinate devices.
If IP addresses of Modbus devices have been changed, all devices must be restarted.
Communication disturbances in the local network
The IP address range 192.168.12.0 to 192.168.12.255 is occupied for communication amongst SMA products and for direct access to SMA products.
Communication problems might occur if this IP address range is used in the local network.
- Do not use the IP address range 192.168.12.0 to 192.168.12.255 in the local network.
