2.5.2 Electrical safety precautions
DANGER
When opening the product, there is a possibility of coming into contact with live
electrical components.
This may result in electric shock, burns or death. In addition, opening the product will
invalidate the guarantee, warranty and liability of the manufacturer for any resulting
accidents, personal injury or equipment damage.
Never open the housing.
Only the manufacturer is permitted to access the inside of the product.
DANGER

amount of electricity passing through the human body.
This may result in electric shock, burns or death.
Work on the electrical system and live electrical components is only to be
performed by trained electrical specialists.
For power connection and all interface connections, use only cables and
connectors that comply with applicable standards.
Use only fuses with the prescribed classification. For more information see
"Specifications", page 261.
Have the manufacturer exchange defective electrical components immediately.
Regularly inspect all connected cables and all connectors provided on the
product. Defects, such as loose connections or scorched cables, must be
