1Eaton Industries (Austria) GmbH MA-xc-use01.qxd/11.2012b / 136211171Important notes on the correct use ofxComfort productsGeneral information, use:xComfort products are designed for use in privatehomes and similar, fixed electrical installationsystems. Applicable standards can be found in theCE declarations of conformity included in the moun-ting instructions supplied with each product.Installation: Installation and connection of xComfort productsmay be carried out by an authorized specialistonly (e.g. electrician). Eaton installation recommendations need to berespected, in addition to all relevant nationalinstallation and construction regulations. Appropriate fuse protection with overvoltage pro-tection in the distribution cabinet is required (coar-se protection and surge protection). Overvoltage in the system network caused byother electrical consumers (e.g. switching ofloads) is not allowed, filters need to be provided. Data transmission in the system network used(e.g. ripple control signals from the electricity sup-plier) and harmonics are not allowed, filters needto be provided. Temporary, short brightness variations of dimmedlamps are usually caused by the above-mentionedripple control signals, they are not caused by anydefect of our devices. Ambient conditions and technical data as speci-fied in our catalogues or mounting instructionsneed to be respected, especially those referringto: Degree of protection (IP20) for in-house use Degree of pollution Ambient temperature Humidity (non-condensing) Operating temperature (also taking account ofother, additional heat sources) Operating voltage and frequency Correct and allowed max. load De-rating (reduction of performance) The mains power supply needs to be disconnec-ted before doing any installation jobs. Mechanically and/or electrically damagedxComfort devices MUST NOT be installed or bro-ught into operation. They need to be replaced bynew xComfort devices. xComfort devices MUST NOT be exposed to anymechanical stress (e.g. mechanical pressure onthe devices or strain on connection wires). xComfort devices MUST NOT be changed, neitherin technical, mechanical and/or electrical terms.Exception: Shortening of connection wires. Devices must not be opened. xComfort devices must be and stay accessible forprogramming, replacement and maintenance pur-poses (i.e. NO wall-paper on distribution boxes,NO immuring etc). Torques for screw-type terminals on the deviceneed to be respected! For terminals from third-party suppliers (e.g. lustre terminals) you need torespect the manufacturers' technical data. Once the job has been done, all the installationboxes need to be closed again. All live compo-nents need to be touch-proof. Installation boxes and distributors must be flame-retardant in compliance with the respective rulesand regulations. Neutral conductor displacements in the systemnetwork used are NOT allowed and candestroy/damage the devices. Phase and neutral conductor need to be correctlyconnected. Protective earth PE needs to be provided whererequired by terminal equipment (e.g. lamp with ametal housing). After removing any xComfort actuators, the inco-ming capacitor of the actuators needs to bedischarged (risk of electric shock). Connecting the sensors and loads or consumershas to be done in accordance with the technicalsection of our catalogue or with the mountinginstructions supplied with each product. All techni-cal data and recommendations need to be respec-ted. Any connection wires not used must be touch-proof. Country-specific waste disposal and environ-mental regulations (e.g. for defective devices, bat-teries, …) need to be respected.Applications: xComfort products MUST NOT be used for safetyinstallations and safety-relevant functions, especi-ally for: Safety temperature switches and limitingequipment of heating systems Final position detection and switch-off or safetyfunctions related to the influence of theweather on shading systems (wind,rain,hail ...)GB
