For your safety
Warning!
Carefully read and observe the following important safety information. In order to avoid an
electric shock:
Position the device in a suitable place to ensure
that it is not exposed to water (from condensation
or falling into water).
Info
WALTRON recommends making "drip loops" in
the converter cables to prevent water (condensation) from running along the cable to the converter
or outlet.
Notice!
Make sure that all cables:
• have no kinks in them,
• are not routed over sharp edges,
• cannot be jammed or snagged,
and cannot come into contact with hot surfaces
(> 60 °C).
Warning!
If you notice that the power cable is damaged,
disconnect the device from mains power supply
immediately. Contact an authorized daytime® service partner or the manufacturer (WALTRON
GmbH) directly.
Warning!
If the operating device's power cable or secondary cable(s) are damaged, they must be repaired,
either by an authorized daytime® service partner
or directly by the manufacturer.
Never use a device which has a damaged or defective power cable (operating device).
Warning!
Never open or repair the operating devices and
lights by yourself. Do not make any changes
which are not described in these operating instructions. The operating device contains live
(current-carrying) parts (with 230 V AC). A fatal
injury can result from an opened device.
Repairs may only be made by authorized daytime® service partners or by Waltron, using only
original spare parts and accessories.
