Intended use
2
Plugs and sockets with screw connections are built for professional use. The installation and the fixed
connection to the mains supply should be carried out only by trained and qualified experts.
Any use going beyond the intended use is considered to be improper. The manufacturer is not liable
for damages resulting from improper use. Any such risk shall be borne solely by the user.
In case of unauthorised modifications or conversions, the CE conformity becomes null and void, and
thus, also all claims for warranty. Modifications may lead to risks for life and limb as well as damage
to the plugs and sockets or loads connected.
Factory-fitted labels and markings on the plugs and sockets should not be removed, modified or
blurred.
Protect against foreign bodies and impact of weather
The plugs and sockets meet either the protection degree IP44, IP54 or IP67 in accordance with DIN
EN 60529 (VDE 0470-1), depending on the respective design. Each of these mean:
– Protection degree IP44:
– Protected against solid bodies with a diameter beyond 1.0 mm, e.g. a wire
– Protection against water sprayed from all sides
– Protection degree IP54:
– Protected against dust in damaging quantity
– Complete protection against contact
– Protection against water sprayed from all sides
– Protection degree IP67:
– Dust-proof
