ATTENTION: DANGER TO LIFE! RISK OF FIRE! RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT!
w The handling of supply voltage, mains cords and connections to
mains calls for particular care considering the potential risk from a
life-threatening electric shock, the risk of fire and the risk of short
circuits! Please observe the following notes in particular:
w Products operating on supply voltage should be kept out of the
reach of children. Therefore ensure the permanent supervision if
children are in the immediate vicinity of the product!
w For commercial facilities the regulations on the prevention of acci-
dents of the respective trade association must be observed.
w The operation of this equipment at schools, training facilities, and
hobby or self-help workshops must be supervised responsibly by
trained personnel.
w Check the product regularly for any damage to the mains cord!
Should you discover any damage to the mains cord, do not operate
or disconnect this product! Secure the product against accidental
operation and contact your specialised dealer!
w Always separate the product from mains by holding the mains plug
by the handling surface. Never disconnect by holding the line cord!
w Be sure to connect the product exclusively to 220 V, 50 Hz A/C!
w Always ensure during installation, operation, transport and when
storing the product that the mains cord is not exposed to possible
mechanical damage, or damage caused by humidity, fluids, heat
or cold!
w The product's cable entry must not be exposed to stress from pull!
w Create the mains connection once the product has been installed
only. Always connect the mains plug last!
w The product must only be connected to a proper outlet of the public
supply grid. Connect the mains cord to suitable outlets only!
w Use extension cords in compliance with specifications only!
w Do not allow the mains cord to come into contact with other cords!
w Ensure during installation, operation, transport and storage that
none of the cables are freely exposed!
w Never touch the mains cord, mains plug and outlets with wet or
damp hands!
w When not using the product, and prior to cleaning always discon-
nect the product from mains! To do so, hold the mains plug by the
handling surface and never pull the mains cord!
housIng
ATTENTION: DANGER TO LIFE! RISK OF BURNS!
RISK OF FIRE! RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT!
w Never open the housing! The inside does not contain any parts that re-
quire maintenance. Maintenance must be carried out by expert staff only,
otherwise the warranty expires!
w Always ensure during installation, operation, transport and when storing
the product that no shocks or other forces impact the housing!
w Fluids must not enter the housing as this could reduce the protective in-
sulation and may trigger short circuits which may lead to fatal electric
shocks! If fluids have entered, disconnect the mains plug immediate-
ly and secure the product against unintentional operation and contact
your specialised dealer! Damage caused as a result of fluids entering the
housing is exempt from warranty .
w No metal parts or other items must enter the housing as this may reduce
the protective insulation or trigger short circuits which may lead to fatal
electric shocks! If metal parts or other items have entered, disconnect the
mains plug immediately, secure the product against unintentional opera-
tion and contact your specialised dealer! Damage caused by metal parts
or other items in the housing is exempt from warranty .
cleanIng
ATTENTION: DANGER TO LIFE! RISK OF FIRE! RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT!
w The product must be freed regularly from dust, other deposits and
contamination as this may reduce the protective insulation, which
may lead to a fatal electric shock!
w Before cleaning, always disconnect the product from mains!
w This product should be cleaned with a moist cloth only; never use
aggressive cleaning agents, solvents or benzine for cleaning.
w Ensure that the product is completely dry before operating it again
after cleaning!
operatIng enVIronment
ATTENTION: DANGER TO LIFE! RISK OF BURNS!
RISK OF FIRE! RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT!
w The product must be operated and stored in a dry environment
only! Splash water, rain, humidity, fog may reduce the protective
insulation which may lead to fatal electric shocks! The limit value
for relative humidity is 95% at 45 °C. A minimum distance of 0.5m
to a fog machine must be observed; fog saturation in the room
must not reduce the visibility to below 10 mtr.
w The product must be operated at a temperature range between -20
°C and 45 °C only. Protect the product against direct exposure to
sunlight or other heat, such as from radiators!
w If the product is taken from a cold environment into a warm envi-
ronment it must only be taken into operation once it has reached
ambient temperature, since the condensation created by the diffe-
rence in temperature may destroy the device!
w Protect the product against dust! Dust may reduce the protective
insulation, which may cause fatal electric shocks!
w The product must be operated at altitudes ranging between 20 mtr
below and 2000 mtr above sea level only!
w The product must not be operated during thunder storms; risk of
destruction from surge voltages!
transport
