2. Installation & commissioning
2.1 Storage
2.1.1 Packaging
It is recommended to keep the complete transport packaging for the lifetime of the device for relocation or return
to Elektro-Automatik for repair. Otherwise the packaging should be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
2.1.2 Storage
In case of long term storage of the equipment it is recommended to use the original packaging or similar. Storage
must be in dry rooms, if possible in sealed packaging, to avoid corrosion, especially internal, through humidity.
2.2 Unpacking and visual check
After every transport, with or without packaging, or before commissioning, the equipment should be visually
inspected for damage and completeness using the delivery note and/or parts list (see section „1.9.3. Scope of
delivery“). An obviously damaged device (e.g. loose parts inside, damage outside) must under no circumstances
be put in operation.
2.3 Installation
2.3.1 Safety procedures before installation and use
• Before connecting to the mains ensure that the connection is as shown on the product label.
Overvoltage on the AC supply can cause equipment damage.
• Before connecting a voltage source to the DC input make sure, that the source can not gener-
ateavoltagehigherthanspeciedforaparticularmodelorinstallmeasureswhichcanprevent
damaging the device by overvoltage input.
2.3.2 Preparation
Mains connection with an EL 9000 T series device is done via the included 1.5 meters long 3 pole mains cord.

device.
• Continuous operation at the approved limit generates heat which must be removed, as well as
voltage loss which depends on cable length and heating. To compensate for these the cable
cross section should be increased and/or the cable length reduced.

2.3.3 Installing the device
• Select the location for the device so that the connection to the source is as short as possible.
