Warranty and Supply Conditions

The warranty conditions are considered to be valid if the customer adhe-

res to the indications in this manual; any conditions deviating from those

described herein must be expressly agreed in the purchase order.

The equipment complies with the pertinent legislation currently in force in the country of in-

stallation and it has issued the corresponding declaration of conformity.

Not included in the supply

ABB accepts no liability for failure to comply with the instructions for correct installation and will

not be held responsible for systems upstream or downstream the equipment it has supplied.

It is absolutely forbidden to modify the equipment. Any modication, manipulation, or alteration

not expressly agreed with the manufacturer, concerning either hardware or software, shall re-

sult in the immediate cancellation of the warranty.

The Customer is fully liable for any modications made to the system.

Given the countless array of system congurations and installation envi-

ronments possible, it is essential to check the following: sufcient space

suitable for housing the equipment; airborne noise produced depending

on the environment; potential ammability hazards.

ABB will NOT be held liable for defects or malfunctions arising from: im-

proper use of the equipment; deterioration resulting from transportation

or particular environmental conditions; performing maintenance incor-

rectly or not at all; tampering or unsafe repairs; use or installation by

unqualied persons.

ABB will NOT be held responsible for the disposal of: displays, cables,

batteries, accumulators etc. The Customer shall therefore arrange for the

disposal of substances potentially harmful to the environment in accor-

dance with the legislation in force in the country of installation.
