General Safety Regulations

This manual does not represent a complete list of all safety measures re-
quired for the operation of equipment (module, device) because addi-
tional measures may be necessary under specific operating conditions. It
does, however, contain instructions that you must observe for your per-
sonal safety and for avoiding damage to equipment. These instructions
are highlighted by a warning triangle as shown below according to the
degree of danger.

Danger:
signifies that death, serious physical injury or substantial material damage will occur if appropriate
precautionary measures are not taken.

Warning:
signifies that death, serious physical injury or substantial material damage may occur if appropriate
precautionary measures are not taken.

Caution:
signifies that minor physical injury or material damage may occur if appropriate precautionary
measures are not taken.

Qualified personnel Start-up and operation of equipment described in this manual (module,
device) may only be carried out by qualified personnel. For the purpose
of this instruction and product labels, a qualified person is one who is fa-
miliar with the installation, construction and operation of the equipment
and the hazards involved. In addition, he has the following qualifications:
> Is trained and authorized to energize, de-energize, clear, ground and
tag circuits and equipment in accordance with established safety prac-
tices.
> Is trained in the proper care and use of Power Line equipment in ac-
cordance with established safety practices.
> Is trained in rendering first aid.

PowerLink 50/100 Equipment Dummy Load

Please note the following:

The equipment must only be used for the applications described in the catalogue and the technical
description and only in conjunction with third party devices and components recommended or ap-
proved by Siemens.
Perfect and reliable operation of the product is conditional upon proper transport, storage, installa-
tion and assembly as well as correct operation and proper maintenance.
When operating electrical equipment certain components inevitably carry a dangerous voltage. Se-
rious physical injury or material damage can occur if the equipment is not handled properly:
Equipment must be grounded before any connections are wired up.
Dangerous voltages can be present in all circuit sections connected to the power supply.
Even after the power supply has been disconnected there may still be dangerous voltages
present in the equipment (charge stored on a capacitor).
Equipment with current transformer circuits must not be operated in the open state.
The limits specified in this product document must not be exceeded; this must also be
taken into account in testing and on start-up.

The following points must also be observed during installation:

Caution!
Do not operate the dummy load at more than 50W load for more than 5 minutes. Otherwise, sur-
faces could become hot and dangerous to touch. After use, allow the dummy load to cool down
properly!

Note:
This instruction is written for service and operation personnel in the high voltage power line envi-
ronment. All existing safety instructions in the client's environment have to be observed and only
trained and instructed personnel should work with the equipment.

Note:
The dummy load is not included in delivery of the PowerLink!
