Safety instructions

DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside

Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never
remove any covers.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or
damaged.

DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short circuit

Always use a properly insulated CEE cable to connect the unit to the 400 V mains
grid. Do not modify the CEE cable or the CEE plug. Failure to comply may result in
electric shock and risk of re and loss of life. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐
tered electrician.

NOTICE!
Operating conditions

This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never
expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and
strong vibrations.

Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specied in the chapter
‘Technical specications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature uctua‐
tions and do not switch the device on immediately after it was exposed to tem‐
perature uctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures).

Dust and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient
conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be maintained by
qualied service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and other
malfunction.

Safety instructions

NOTICE!
Power supply

Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and
possibly injure the user.

Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or re.

NOTICE!
Possible staining

The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react
with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC oor and after some
time cause permanent dark stains.

In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the oor, but use felt-pad
oor protectors or a carpet.

Connections and controls

1 Residual current device (RCD). This protective device, also known as ‘Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalter’ or ‘FI-Schalter’ in

German-speaking countries, is used for personal protection. As soon as it detects dierential current / fault current, it
automatically disconnects the device from the mains.

[T]: Button for manual triggering the residual current device (RCD).

[0]: Momentary switch for turning o the power supply

[1]: Momentary switch for turning on the power supply

2 [1], … [6]

Line circuit breaker for the six outputs of the power distributor. In case of overload (> 16 A), the circuit breaker auto‐
matically disconnects the supply to the assigned CEE socket.
