Electrical connection
In order to ensure a reliable installation that complies with the limits of
temperature and voltage drop, it is necessary to determine maximum load of
appliances connected to the installation. In determining the maximum load
for an installation or for a part of it, it is vital to take into account
contemporaneous factors. For supply systems, the following must be
determined:
- Power system (AC/DC) - Data regarding voltage and absorbed power/
current is given on the rating plate.
- Ground protection: To prevent the user of getting exposed to electrical
shock, in the event of a insulation damage, the appliance must be grounded
- The installation must always be secured with a minimum 10 A fuse.
- If more than one appliance needs to be installed, each appliance must be
connected to an individual fuse group.
When installing the unit, make sure the protected earth is grounded. If the
connection is a 3-prong connection, use a three-pin plug and connect the
conductor with yellow / green insulation to ground. In order to maintain a
stable operation of the unit, voltage variation cannot dier more than ±10 per-
cent of the nominal voltage supply.
Always follow local regulations when preparing an installation. If in doubt
always contact your local authorities.
Do not use water pipes as ground protection. Modern water pipe
systems are non-conductors such as PVC.

Replacing the power cord may only be done by authorized
personal.
