General safety instructions

WARNING

Life-threatening voltages are present with an open control cabinet

System expansions

NOTICE

Damage through system expansions

When you install the device in a control cabinet, some areas or components in the open control cabinet may be carrying life-threatening voltages.

If you touch these areas or components, you may be killed by electric shock.

Switch off the power supply to the cabinet before opening it.

Device and system expansions may be faulty and can affect the entire machine or plant.

The installation of expansions can damage the device, machine or plant. Device and system expansions may violate safety rules and regulations regarding radio interference suppression. If you install or exchange system expansions and damage your device, the warranty becomes void.

WARNING

Risk of explosion and release of harmful substances

2.1 General safety instructions

Note the following for system expansions:

● Only install system expansion devices designed for this device. Contact your technical support team or where you purchased your PC to find out which system expansion devices may safely be installed.

● Observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility (Page 107).

Note that the device is classified as "Open Type" for use in the area of Industrial Control Equipment (UL508). Installation of the device in an enclosure complying with UL508 for specific permitted mounting positions (see corresponding section) is a prerequisite for approval or operation in accordance with UL508.

Expansion cards generate additional heat. The device may overheat and cause a fire.

Please note the following:

• Observe the safety and installation instructions for the expansion cards.

• If in doubt, install the device in an enclosure that is compliant with sections 4.6 and 4.7.3

of the IEC/UL/EN/DIN-EN 60950-1 standard.

Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries.

Explosion of the batteries and the released pollutants can cause severe physical injury. Worn batteries jeopardize the function of the device.

Note the following when handling lithium batteries:

• Replace used batteries in good time; see the section "Replacing the backup battery" in the operating instructions.

• Replace the lithium battery only with an identical battery or types recommended by the manufacturer (order no.: A5E00331143).

• Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge, do not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and protect from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation.

NOTICE

Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)

2.1 General safety instructions

High frequency radiation, e g. from a cellular phone, interferes with device functions and can result in malfunctioning of the device.

Persons are injured and the plant is damaged.

Avoid high-frequency radiation:

• Remove radiation sources from the environment of the device.

• Switch off radiating devices.

• Reduce the radio output of radiating devices.

• Observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility (Page 107).

Electrostatic sensitive devices can be labeled with an appropriate symbol.

When you touch electrostatic sensitive components, you can destroy them through voltages that are far below the human perception threshold.

If you work with components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge, observe the ESD Guideline (Page 108).

2.2 Notes on usage

According to the results of a risk analysis, certain hazard potentials associated with the unprotected machine exist. These hazards could lead to personal injury.

Avoid such hazards by taking the following precautions in accordance with the risk analysis:

• Installation of additional safety equipment on the machine or plant. In particular, the

programming, parameter assignment and wiring of the inserted I/O modules must be executed in accordance with the safety performance identified by the necessary risk analysis (SIL, PL or Cat.).

• Use as intended must be validated for the device by means of a function test on the

plant. These tests help you to identify programming, parameter assignment and wiring errors.

• Documentation of the test results that you can enter in the relevant safety verification

documents, if necessary.

Unsuitable environmental conditions have a negative impact on device operation. Chemical substances such as cleaners or fuels may alter the color, shape and structure of the device surface, for example, the front panel.

The device may be damaged. possibly resulting in malfunctions.

For this reason, please observe the following precautions:

• Always operate the device in closed rooms. All warranties shall be void in the case of

noncompliance.

• Operate the device only in accordance with the ambient conditions specified in the

technical specifications.

• Protect the device against dust, moisture and heat.

• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or to other strong sources of light.

• Without additional safety measures, such as a supply of clean air, the device may not be

used in locations with harsh operating conditions caused by acidic vapors or gases.

• Observe the permitted mounting positions of the device.

• Do not obstruct the venting slots of the device.

• Always use suitable cleaning agents. Read the information about Chemical resistance of

the HMI devices and industrial PCs (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/39718396) on the Internet.

6. Please inform the delivery service immediately if the package contents are incomplete or damaged or do not correspond with your order. Fax the enclosed form "SIMATIC IPC/PG Quality Control Report".

A damaged device can be under hazardous voltage and trigger a fire in the machine or plant. A damaged device has unpredictable properties and states.

Death or serious injury could occur.

Make sure that the damaged device is not inadvertently installed and put into operation. Label the damaged device and keep it locked away. Send off the device for immediate repair.

If the device is subjected to low temperatures or extreme fluctuations in temperature during transportation, as is the case in cold weather, for example, moisture can build up on or inside the device (condensation).

Moisture causes a short circuit in electrical circuits and damages the device.

In order to prevent damage to the device, proceed as follows:

• Store the device in a dry place.

• Bring the device to room temperature before starting it up.

• Do not expose the device to direct heat radiation from a heating device.

• If condensation develops, wait approximately 12 hours or until the device is

completely dry before switching it on.

7. Please keep the enclosed documentation in a safe place. It belongs to the device. You need the documentation when you commission the device for the first time.
