● This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified elec-
trical personnel.
● Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or
inside equipment.
● Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power
is off.
● Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this
equipment.
● Beware of potential hazards, and carefully inspect the work area for

disposal of the
equipment at WARNING
end---of---life
This equipment contains SF6 gas. SF6 is a powerful greenhouse gas
and is harmful for the environment. Prior to disposal of the equipment at
end-of-life, the SF6 gas must be recovered in order for it to be recycled,
reclaimed or destroyed.
● DO NOT carry out any dismantling operations unless authorized.

● DO NOT handle SF6 gas unless certified.
● DO NOT release SF6 gas to the atmosphere.
Penalties may apply according to local regulations and rules (Regulation

(EU) N° 517/2014 for all European countries).
Schneider Electric offers a complete service to dismantle and recycle

Medium Voltage equipment and SF6 gas at end-of-life. This service is
compliant with IEC 62271-4 and conforms to local regulations.
Please contact Schneider Electric for details.

SF6 gas recovery

conformity rules (reminder) WARNING
This equipment contains SF6 gas. SF6 is a powerful greenhouse gas
and is harmful for the environment. Prior to disposal of the equipment at
end-of-life, the SF6 gas must be recovered in order for it to be recycled,
reclaimed or destroyed.
● DO NOT carry out any dismantling operations unless authorized.

● DO NOT handle SF6 gas unless certified.
● DO NOT release SF6 gas to the atmosphere.
Penalties may apply according to local regulations and rules (Regulation

(EU) N° 517/2014 for all European countries).
Schneider Electric offers a complete service to dismantle and recycle

Medium Voltage equipment and SF6 gas at end-of-life. This service is
compliant with IEC 62271-4 and conforms to local regulations.
