Safety when Configuring Switching Devices


WARNING

Danger to life by switching medical devices

Unintentional switching of medical devices can result in life-threatening situations.

  1. Do not connect any medical devices to the switching device (e.g. radio-controlled socket/relay).

WARNING

Risk of injury and fire due to unintentional and unattended switching on of loads

Loads that are switched on via a radio-controlled socket or a relay unintentionally and while unattended can cause injuries and fires (e.g. an iron).

  1. Do not connect any loads to the switching device that could endanger persons or cause damage if unintentionally switched on.

NOTICE

Damage to loads due through frequent switching

Frequently switching a load on and off can damage it.

  1. Ask the load manufacturer whether the load is suitable for control via a radio-controlled socket or relay, for example.
  2. Configure the switching device so that the load connected is not switched on or off more frequently than specified by the load manufacturer.
  3. Do not connect any loads to a switching device if they require a continuous current supply.
