Do not use the product if it is damaged. It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, if:

The product has visible damage.
The product is not working properly (thick smoke or a burning smell, audible crackling noise, discoloration of the product or surrounding areas).
The product was stored under adverse conditions.
Tough conditions during transport.

Attention

Improper handling of this product operated on the mains voltage can cause mortal danger from electric shock!

Note

Interconnection or combining equipment bearing a CE label does not inevitably result in a system that conforms with the safety regulations. Integrators will have to reassess the new product’s compliance according to the locally valid directives. See section Conformity for more information on certifications of this product.

Installation#

This product must be connected and installed by a qualified electrician who is familiar with the relevant regulations (e.g. VDE).

Attention

Never plug the product into voltage / power supply immediately after it has been moved from cold into warm environment (e.g. during / after transport / unboxing). The resultant condensed water may damage the product or may cause electric shock.

Caution

Allow the product reach the ambient temperature. Wait until the condensation has evaporated, this can take a few hours. Only then can the product be connected to the voltage / current supply and put into operation.

1

This product may have screw terminals with open electrical contacts. It is essential to ensure that the connection is made only when no voltage / current is applied. Secure the power supply to prevent accidental reconnection. Verify the absence of voltage using an appropriate meter.

Caution

The power supply line must be protected with a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with a trip current ≤ 30 mA.

1

Always connect earth ground to the device at the indicated protective earth terminal (PE or earth symbol indication).

Attention

Always unplug a power plug from the socket only at the intended gripping surface, pull the power plug not the cord from a power outlet. Wires may rip out and pose danger to life though electric shock.

Caution

Maintain sufficient cooling of the product according to its specifications.

Operation#

Use the product in the specified environment. Use outside of the specifications can damage the product and/or stop any operation.
