Safety Precautions
Before powering ON, we strongly suggest that you read and comply with the
recommendations given in the sections
General Safety Information and
Module Setup. These instructions and indications must be followed to ensure
safe operation of the unit.
In addition, please follow the safety precautions listed below:
Unit covers cannot be removed during operation.
Before powering ON the unit, all grounding terminals, extension cords,
and devices connected to it should be connected to a protective ground via
a ground socket. Any interruption of the protective grounding will cause a
potential shock hazard and possible personal injury.
Whenever the ground protection is impaired, the unit must not be used and
be secured against any accidental or unintended operation.
Only fuses with the required rated current and specified type (normal
blow, time delay, etc.) may be used for replacement. Do not use repaired
fuses or short-circuit fuseholders.

-
should be avoided and carried out only by skilled personnel aware of the
hazard involved. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless
another person qualified in first aid is present. Do not replace any
components while power cable is connected.
Operation of any electrical instrument around flammable gases or fumes
constitutes a major safety hazard.
Installation of substitute parts or modification of the unit should be carried
out by authorized personnel only.
Capacitors inside the unit may be charged even if the unit has been
disconnected from its electrical supply.
