protected against bumps and impact.

• If the unit is brought from a cold environment into the room where it will be operated,
condensation may occur. Wait until the unit has reached the temperature of the room and is
completely dry before putting it in operation.

• Make sure that the local power supply does not exceed or fall short of the nominal voltage
range. Check the adjusted nominal voltage of the unit (see ”Connecting terminal to the power

• A safety-tested power line in compliance with the requirements of the country where it is being
used is required for this device. The device can only be connected to a grounded protected
contact socket.

• Make sure that the socket of the device or the protected contact socket of the facility installation
is freely accessible.

• Lay the lines so that they do not create any hazards (danger of tripping) and so that they cannot
be damaged. Read chapter ”Connecting the unit and placing it in service” of these operating
instruction on connecting the device.

• Repairs on the device may only be performed by authorized specialists. Unauthorized opening
or improper repairs may result in considerable hazard for the user (electric shock, danger of fire).
