3.4 General safety messages
WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Before proceeding with the installation of the SmartStart RV So Start Acces-
sory, all electrical energy sources supplying the air conditioning unit must be
turned off at the nearest switch as well as at the electrical control panel. After
turning off all electrical sources supplying the air conditioning unit, wait a full
five minutes before proceeding to install the SmartStart RV So Start Acces-
sory into the air conditioning unit to avoid potential latent electrical charge
which may be remaining in the air conditioner’s capacitor.
AVERTISSEMENT ! AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE ÉLEC-
TRIQUE
Avant de procéder à l’installation de l’accessoire de mise sous tension sans
appel de courant SmartStart RV, toutes les sources d’énergie électrique ali-
mentant l’unité de climatisation doivent être coupées au commutateur le
plus proche, ainsi que sur le panneau électrique. Après avoir coupé toutes
les sources électriques alimentant l’unité de climatisation, attendez au moins
cinq minutes complètes avant de procéder à l’installation de l’accessoire de
mise sous tension sans appel de courant SmartStart RV dans l’unité de climati-
sation pour éviter toute charge électrique latente qui peut être restée dans le
condensateur de l’unité de climatisation.
WARNING! FIRE HAZARD
Ensure all the electrical connections are secure to maintain the appropriate
near-zero resistancelevels. A poor electrical connection in any electrical cir-
cuit can lead to high electrical resistance at the point of poor connection, re-
sulting in high temperature and amperage. Not only can this potentially dam-
age the equipment, it can also result in a risk of fire.
AVERTISSEMENT ! RISQUE D’INCENDIE
Vérifiez que toutes les connexions électriques sont solides pour maintenir
les niveaux de résistance appropriés à une valeur près de zéro. Une mau-
