• The device is designed according to protection class I. The voltage source must be a proper mains
socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) of the public mains with a protective ground contact.
• The mains socket must be close to the device and easily accessible.
• Any devices not in use must be powered down. For this, pull the mains plug from the mains socket.
• All persons operating, installing, setting up, commissioning or servicing this device must be trained and
qualiedaccordinglyandobservetheseoperatinginstructions.
• Never touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands. There is a risk of potentially fatal electric shock!
• Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges or put under mechani-
cal stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains cable from extreme heat or cold. Do not modify
the mains cable. Otherwise the mains cable may be damaged. A damaged mains cable can cause a
deadly electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. First, power down the respective mains socket on all
poles (e.g. via the respective circuit breaker and FI switch) and then carefully pull the mains plug from
the mains socket. The product must never be operated with a damaged mains line. In this case, take it
to a specialist workshop for repair.
