DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short circuit
Always use a properly insulated CEE cable to connect the unit to the 400 V mains
grid. Do not modify the CEE cable or the CEE plug. Failure to comply may result in
electric shock and risk of fire and loss of life. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis-
tered electrician.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not cover the device nor any ventilation slots. Do not place the device near
any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.

NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never
expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and
strong vibrations.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and
possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

1 Residual current device (RCD). This protective device, also known as ‘Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalter’ or ‘FI-Schalter’ in
German-speaking countries, is used for personal protection. As soon as it detects differential current / fault current, it
automatically disconnects the device from the mains.
2 Button for manual triggering the residual current device (RCD).
3[A], [B], [C], [D]
Line circuit breaker for the three phases L1 / L2 / L3 of the current distributor, via which each one output is supplied.
In case of overload (> 16 A), the circuit breaker automatically disconnects the supply to the assigned CEE socket.
4[L1 / L2 / L3]
Measuring instruments for voltage (‘V’) and current (‘A’) of the three phases.
