1.2 Warnings, safety and legal information
1.2.1 Warnings and notes
A number of warnings and notes are included in this document. These are highlighted, to separate them from
the general text.
Warnings indicate potentially dangerous situations. If the guidelines are not followed, these sit-
uations could result in death, personal injury or damaged equipment.
Notes provide general, helpful information.
1.2.2 Safety issues
Installing and operating the unit may require work with dangerous currents and voltages. The installation must
only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with live electrical
equipment.
CGC 200 Operator's manual 4189340770
UK
Introduction
DEIF A/S Page 5 of 43

Hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any terminals, especially the AC measure-
ment inputs. Touching the terminals could lead to injury or death.
DEIF does not recommend using the PC USB as the primary power supply for the CGC 200.
The power drawn on start up exceeds the USB standard and may damage the PC.
1.2.3 Factory settings
The controller is delivered pre-programmed from the factory with a set of factory settings. These are based on
average values and are therefore not necessarily correct for your genset. All controller parameters must be
checked before running the genset.
1.2.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness
Protect the controller terminals from static discharge during installation. You must also protect the terminals if
you need to remove the controller.
These precautions are no longer necessary once the controller is correctly installed and connected, as re-
quired by the designer's wiring diagram.
1.2.5 Legal information
DEIF takes no responsibility for the installation or operation of the genset. Contact the genset company if you
have any doubt about installing or operating the genset.
The controller must not be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened, the warranty is void.
