    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.1. Safety information The ETL600 equipment itself is safe and without any risk. This is not valid for its containment and the peripheral surrounding, like the high voltage area and lines. Only service personnel is therefore allowed to execute all the steps and manipulations described in this manual.

  • Page 26: Basic Principles

    1KHW001489-EN ETL600 ABB Switzerland Ltd 2.2. Basic principles The ETL equipment complies with the latest standards of engineering and the recognized safety regulations. In spite of this, hazards could arise with inappropriate operation of the equipment. The ETL equipment should only be operated in fault free condition and within the guidelines lay down in the instruction manual.
  • Page 27 PCB Extenders For measuring purposes only the original PCB DANGER extenders P4LM, P3LL and I9BK, designed to work with ETL600 equipment, must be used. ESD protection The modules in this equipment contain devices, Caution which can be damaged by electrostatic discharges.
  • Page 28 1KHW001489-EN ETL600 ABB Switzerland Ltd Electrical Installation This is a Class Ι equipment as specified in DANGER IEC60950. The equipment and the cabinet must be earthed. The equipment must be supplied over the “circuit breaker for the power supply“, type B9AS.
  • Page 29 Appropriate measures have to be taken especially in case protecti on signal transmission is being used. During routine tests with the ETL600 in operation Caution the "Reset" item in the Equipment menu of the HMI600 should not be activated, as this causes the equipment to be re-initialized and thus be blocked for some seconds.

    ETL600 1KHW001489-EN ABB Switzerland Ltd STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION 3.1. Introduction Transmission lines exhibit low attenuation in the carrier frequency range between 20 and 500 kHz. They are therefore a good means of communicating information over medium to long distances (20 to 100 km, or 100 to 500 km respectively).
  • Page 34 1KHW001489-EN ETL600 ABB Switzerland Ltd However, the bands can also be separated in frequency as shown in Fig. 3-2b. ETL600 offers nominal bandwidths from 4 to 32 kHz. Protection commands Protection commands V.24, 4-w 600 Ohm AF V.24, 4-w 600 Ohm AF...
