Supply systems
Power supply
The equipment must be connected to an electrical installation that
complies with the applicable standards in the country (NFC 15-100 for
France).The installation must be equipped with protections against over-
currents, over-voltages, earth faults.
Do not install the equipment next to a source of heat or source of
humidity.
For your own safety, the equipment must be switched off and
disconnected from the mains before any technical intervention.
Connecting any other type of power supply may disrupt the machine's
operation or the surrounding machines.
•Make sure the electric supply matches the specifications of the
manufacturer's plate;
•Power supply of the unit must be assured by a grounded outlet, and a
safety device must guarantee automatic power-off in case of faulty
insulation. A power supply equipped with a differential circuit breaker,
powerful enough, would meet this requirement. To insure the power
switch off of the unit;
•the outlet must be immediately identifiable and within easy reach of the
operator;
•connect the power supply to the Mixwel’s back in the location indicated
