1.4Warning notices
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection.
Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 20A U.S. (240 VAC, 16A
international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
Warning!
High leakage current. Earth connection essential before connecting supply.
Warning!
To prevent personal injury or damage to the unit, never attempt to lift or tilt the unit using the
handles of controller modules, power supplies, fans, and so on. These types of handles are
not designed to support the weight of the unit.
Warning!
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to that system. It is the customer’s responsibility to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
