accidents must be observed in all cases. Unless otherwise specified, the following environmental requirements apply to Aqua
Broadcast. products: Use only indoors, the maximum operating altitude 3000 m above sea level, maximum transport altitude
6000 m above sea level. A tolerance of ±15 % shall apply to the nominal voltage and ±5 % to the nominal frequency.
Do not place the product on surfaces, cabinets or tables that for reasons of weight or stability are unsuitable for this purpose.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when installing the product and fastening it to objects or structures
(e.g. walls and shelves). An installation that is not carried out as described in the product documentation could result in person-
al injury or death.
Do not place the product on heat-generating devices such as radiators or fan heaters. The ambient temperature must not
exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in the data sheet. Product overheating can cause
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death Do not install, operate, maintain the device if you are physically or
mentally stressed.
Installation
If the information on electrical safety is not observed there is a possibility that electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury
or death may occur.
Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the product nominal voltage setting matches with the nominal voltage of
the AC supply network. If there is a mismatch do not connect the product to the power network until the mismatch is resolved.
If a different voltage is to be set, the power fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.
In the case of products of safety class I with a removable power cord and connector, operation is permitted only on sockets
with an earth contact and protective earth connection.
Intentionally breaking the protective earth connection either in the feed line or in the product itself is not permitted. Doing so
can result in the danger of an electric shock from the product. If extension cords or connector strips are implemented, they
must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are safe to use.
If the product does not have a power switch for disconnection from the AC supply network, the plug of the connecting cable
must be considered as the disconnecting device. In this case, always ensure that the power plug is always easily reachable and
accessible. Ensure also that the plug-in connection is secure, bad connections may cause damage to the equipment and may
be unsafe. Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing disconnection from the AC supply network. If
products without power switches are integrated into racks or systems, a disconnecting device must be provided at the system
level is site main electrical switchboard.
Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cable on a regular basis to ensure that it is in proper
operating condition. Check the power cable is suitable for the power ratings of the device by taking appropriate safety meas-
ures and carefully laying the power cable, you must ensure that the cable will not be damaged and that no one can be hurt by.
Tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.
The product may be operated only from TN/TT supply networks.
Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the socket. Otherwise,
sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.

For measurements in circuits with voltages Vrms > 30 V, suitable precautions (e.g. appropriate measuring equipment, fusing,
current limiting, electrical separation, insulation) should be taken to avoid any hazards.
Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial computers, comply with the
IEC60950-1/EN60950-1 or IEC61010-1/EN 61010-1 standards that apply in each case.
Unless expressly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is in operation. Doing so will
expose circuits and components and can lead to injuries, electrical shock, fire or damage to the product.
Aqua Broadcast products are designed to be permanently installed, so the connection between the PE terminal on site and the
product's PE conductor must be made first before any other connection is made.
Permanently installed equipment must have either built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective devices, moreover the
supply circuit must be fused in such a way that anyone who has access to the product, as well as the product itself, is
adequately protected from injury or damage.
Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach the
product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the danger of an electric shock.
Products are normally designed to operate in an indoor environment (IP 20 typically) no liquid protection is therefore given , the
equipment must be protected from all liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or
the product itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.
Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the product, e.g. if the product
has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water increases the risk of electric shock.
Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply (e.g. AC supply network or battery). Use a soft,
non-lining cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical aggressive cleaning agents such as alcohol, acid, acetone or diluents
for cellulose lacquers.
Operation
Operating the equipment requires trained and skilled personnel. It requires also intense concentration. Make sure that people
who operates is physically, intellectually, and mentally fit to do so. Physical or mental stress may cause fall of concentration,
and this may cause injury or material damages.
Before you install, connect, operate, disconnect, or dismount the equipment, read the relative safety instructions.
In case of fire, some hazardous substances may be released by the unit, such as gas or fluids. This can cause health problems.
So, in this case necessary measures must be taken, such as protective masks, gloves, clothing and so on should be used.
Repair and service
Special training is required to open and repair Aqua Broadcast devices. Before remove the lid and before opening it, the AC
mains must be switched off and disconnected and then wait at least 30 seconds for the discharge of energy of any capacitors.
Otherwise, there could be a risk of electrical shock.
It is strongly recommended to send faulty devices / modules to the factory for repair, if feasible. Otherwise only when author-
ized by Aqua Broadcast and trained personnel may perform repairs. All repairs require only original spare parts has to be used.
After repair a safety test is recommeneded (visual inspection, electrical test, insulation test, ground continuity test, leakage
current measurement, functional test and so on) This helps to assure the continued safety of the device.
If products or their components are mechanically and/or thermally processed in a manner that goes beyond their intended use,
hazardous substances (heavy-metal dust such as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be released. For this reason, the product may
only be disassembled by specially trained personnel. Improper disassembly may be hazardous to your health. National waste
disposal regulations must be observed. The improper disposal of hazardous substances or fuels can cause health problems
and lead to environmental damage.
