noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the general text.
Warnings
DANGER!
This highlights dangerous situations. If the guidelines are not followed, these situations could result in death, serious
personal injury, and equipment damage or destruction.

injury or damaged equipment.
Notes
INFO
Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.
1.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer
DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set or switchgear. If there is any doubt about how to install
or operate the engine/generator or switchgear controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the installation or the
operation of the equipment must be contacted.
NOTE The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will be lost.
Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.
The English version of this document always contains the most recent and up-to-date information about the product. DEIF does not
take responsibility for the accuracy of translations, and translations might not be updated at the same time as the English document.
If there is a discrepancy, the English version prevails.
1.1.3 Safety issues
Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation should
only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with live electrical equipment.
DANGER!
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement inputs as this could lead to injury
or death.
1.1.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness
Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the unit is installed and
connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
QUICK START GUIDE 4189340689E EN Page 3 of 25

1.1.5 Factory settings
The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values and are not
necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions must be taken to check the settings
before running the engine/generator set.
1.2 About the Quick Start Guide
1.2.1 General purpose
This Quick Start Guide mainly includes general product information, mounting instructions and wiring descriptions.
