Regulations
Concerning the Setting up of Installations
Apart from the basic Regulations for the Setting up of
Power Installations DIN VDE* 0100 and for The Rating of
Creepage Distances and Clearances DIN VDE 0110 Part1
and Part2 the regulations The Equipment of Power In-
stallations with Electrical Components DIN VDE 0160 in
conjunction with DIN VDE 0660 Part500 have to be taken
into due consideration.
Further attention has to be paid to DIN VDE 0113 Part1
and Part200 in case of the control of working and pro-
cessing machines. If operating elements are to be mounted
near parts with dangerous contact voltage DIN VDE 0106
Part100 is additionally relevant.
If the protection against direct contact according to DIN
VDE 0160 is required, this has to be ensured by the user
(e.g. by incorporating the elements in a switch-gear cabi-
net). The devices are designed for pollution severity 2 in
accordance with DIN VDE 0110 Part1. If higher pollution
is expected, the devices must be installed in appropriate
housings.
The user has to guarantee that the devices and the com-
ponents belonging to them are mounted following these
regulations. For operating the machines and installations,
other national and international relevant regulations, con-
cerning prevention of accidents and using technical work-
ing means, also have to be met.
The Advant
®
Controller devices are designed according to
IEC 1131 Part2. Meeting this regulation, they are classi-
fied in overvoltage category II which is in conformance with
DIN VDE 0110 Part2.
For the direct connection of Advant
®
Controller devices,
which are powered with or coupled to AC line voltages of
overvoltage category III, appropriate protection measures
corresponding to overvoltage category II according to IEC-
Report 664/1980 and DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 are to install.
Equivalent standards:
DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 Û IEC 664
DIN VDE 0113 Part 1 Û EN 60204 Part 1
DIN VDE 0660 Part 500 Û EN 60439-1 Û IEC 439-1
