Important notes on the correct use of
GB
xComfort products
General information, use:
xComfort products are designed for use in private
homes and similar, fixed electrical installation
systems. Applicable standards can be found in the
CE declarations of conformity included in the moun-
ting instructions supplied with each product.
Installation
:
Installation and connection of xComfort products

may be carried out by an authorized specialist
only (e.g. electrician).
Eaton installation recommendations need to be

respected, in addition to all relevant national
installation 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 by

other electrical consumers (e.g. switching of
loads) 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 need
to be provided.
Temporary, short brightness variations of dimmed

lamps are usually caused by the above-mentioned
ripple control signals, they are not caused by any
defect of our devices.
Ambient conditions and technical data as speci-

fied in our catalogues or mounting instructions
need to be respected, especially those referring
to:
Degree of protection (IP20) for in-house use

Degree of pollution

Ambient temperature

Humidity (non-condensing)

Operating temperature (also taking account of

other, 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 damaged

xComfort devices MUST NOT be installed or bro-
ught into operation. They need to be replaced by
new xComfort devices.
xComfort devices MUST NOT be exposed to any

mechanical stress (e.g. mechanical pressure on
the devices or strain on connection wires).
Eaton Industries (Austria) GmbH
xComfort devices MUST NOT be changed, neither

in technical, mechanical and/or electrical terms.
Exception: Shortening of connection wires.
Devices must not be opened.

xComfort devices must be and stay accessible for

programming, replacement and maintenance pur-
poses (i.e. NO wall-paper on distribution boxes,
NO immuring etc).
Torques for screw-type terminals on the device

need to be respected! For terminals from third-
party suppliers (e.g. lustre terminals) you need to
respect the manufacturers' technical data.
Once the job has been done, all the installation

boxes 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 rules
and regulations.
Neutral conductor displacements in the system

network used are NOT allowed and can
destroy/damage the devices.
Phase and neutral conductor need to be correctly

connected.
Protective earth PE needs to be provided where

required by terminal equipment (e.g. lamp with a
metal housing).
After removing any xComfort actuators, the inco-

ming capacitor of the actuators needs to be
discharged (risk of electric shock).
Connecting the sensors and loads or consumers

has to be done in accordance with the technical
section of our catalogue or with the mounting
instructions 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 safety

installations and safety-relevant functions, especi-
ally for:
Safety temperature switches and limiting

equipment of heating systems
Final position detection and switch-off or safety

functions related to the influence of the
weather on shading systems (wind,rain,hail ...)
