SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
This unit has been designed, produced and tested in Italy, according to IEC 348 standard and has left
the manufacturer’s premises in a state fully complying with the safety standards; in order to maintain the
unit in a safe state and to ensure safe operation, the following instructions must be reviewed and fully
understood before operation.
•When the unit is to be permanently cabled, first connect an uninterruptible protective earth ground
conductor before making any other connections.
•If the unit is to be connected to other equipment or accessories, prior to energizing either units, verify
that a common ground exists between them.
•For permanently cabled unit without built-in fuses, automatic circuit breakers or similar protective
facilities, the power supply line shall be provided with fuses or protections rated to the unit.
•Verify that the unit is set to match the available mains voltage and correct fuse rating is installed
before applying power.
•The Safety Class I units provided with disconnectible AC supply cable and plug, may only be
operated from a power socket with protective earth ground connection.
•Any interruption or loosening of the protective earth ground conductor, either inside or outside the
unit or in an extension cable will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
•The protective earth ground conductor shall not be interrupted intentionally.
•To avoid electrical shock do not remove protections or covers of the unit , refer to qualified NARDA
Servicing Center for maintenance of the unit.
•To maintain adequate protection against fire hazard, replace fuses only with others of the same type
and rating;
•Observe safety regulations and rules and also the additional safety instructions specified in this
manual for prevention of accidents.
