Safety Information - Conrad 61 89 77 Bedienungsanleitung

The AC Timer functions as a random switch when operating in
"Mode 3". Independent of time and ambient light, the AC Timer
switches the connected load on or off again at indeterminate
times. This function is particularly interesting during absences in
that unwanted observers can thereby be led to believe that
somebody is at home.
The unit is only suitable for indoor use. When connecting or
disconnecting a load, without fail the hands, the shoes, the floor
and the connecting plug of the load must be dry.

3. Safety information

• The AC Timer is EMC-tested (for domestic not industrial areas)
and safety-tested and meets European directives 89/336/EU
and 73/23/EU.
• The AC Timer is supplied in perfect technically-safe condition.
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, it is
essential for the user to observe "1. Intended use" and the
safety instructions and (Attention!) warning notes contained
in these user instructions.
• The unit is earthed throughout and may therefore only be
connected to and operated with an earthed 230 V AC supply
and an earthed mains plug/socket adapter as required in cer-
tain countries.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the (yellow/green) earth
lead remains in good condition in the unit and in the AC supp-
ly, because a damaged earth wire can endanger life. Care must
also be taken to ensure that insulation is neither damaged nor
destroyed.
• The AC Timer is not a toy and so does not belong in the hands
of children!

• In commercial facilities the accident-prevention regulations of
the Industrial Employers' Liability Association for electrical
systems and equipment must be observed.
• In schools, training facilities, hobby and self-help workshops,
the handling of electrical equipment must be supervised res-
ponsibly by trained personnel.
• Before putting into operation on each occasion, check the AC
Timer for damage.
• Do not use the AC Timer in areas or under adverse environ-
mental conditions, when combustible gases, fumes or dust are
present or can occur.
• The AC Timer case must not come into contact with hot objects
(hotplates, soldering irons, hot air equipment, etc.).
• Protect the AC Timer before, during and after use from beco-
ming wet and from condensing steam.
• Except where this can be performed manually, live parts may
be exposed when opening covers or removing components.
Connecting parts may also be live. Before any adjustment,
maintenance, repair or replacement of components or assem-
blies, if it is necessary to open the unit, it must be disconnected
from all voltage sources and circuits. If adjustment, mainte-
nance or repair is subsequently required on the opened unit
while it is live, these must only be performed by a specialist
familiar with the associated hazards and relevant regulations
(VDE-0100, VDE-0701, VDE-0683).
• Capacitors in the unit may remain charged even when the unit
has been isolated from all circuits.
• If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible,
then the unit must be switched off and protected against
