4. Preparing the Equipment for Operation
4.1. Setting up the MedAir
The MedAir is designed for use in dry areas
free from spray and dripping water. Moist or
wet ambient conditions can greatly impair the
functioning of the equipment.
The ambient temperature may not exceed +40
°C.
Should the relative humidity exceed 70 %, it is
recommended that the equipment only be
operated in air-conditioned areas.
The air intake filter positioned at the rear of the
unit may not be covered by any objects.
The rear side of the unit must be at least 10 cm
from the wall.
4.2. Connection to the mains power supply
4 Preparing the Equipment for Operation
Check to determine whether the mains power
voltage matches the power voltage as
indicated on the rating plate on the unit.
Make sure that the mains power switch
"ON/OFF is in the OFF position.
