WARNINGElectric shock due to equipment damageImproper handling may cause damage to equipment. For damaged devices, hazardousvoltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components; if touched, this canresult in death or severe injury.● Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,storage and operation.● Do not use any damaged devices.WARNINGElectric shock due to unconnected cable shieldsHazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnectedcable shields.● As a minimum, connect cable shields and the cores of cables that are not used at one endat the grounded housing potential.WARNINGElectric shock if there is no ground connectionFor missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices withprotection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when touched,can result in death or severe injury.● Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.WARNINGSpread of fire from built-in devicesIn the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape offire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.● Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are protectedagainst fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect personnel.● Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.Fundamental safety instructions1.1 General safety instructionsSINUMERIK Software Update Tool6 Commissioning Manual, 03/2018, A5E42187770B AA
