POWER CORD SAFETY
Please read the following safety information carefully before installing
the switch:
WARNING: Installation and removal of the unit must be carried out by qualified
personnel only.
◆The unit must be connected to an earthed (grounded) outlet to comply with
international safety standards.
◆Do not connect the unit to an A.C. outlet (power supply) without an earth
(ground) connection.
◆The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug) must
have a configuration for mating with an EN 60320/IEC 320 appliance inlet.
◆The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can
only remove power from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from the
outlet.
◆This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions
according to IEC 60950. The conditions are only maintained if the
equipment to which it is connected also operates under SELV conditions.
France and Peru only
This unit cannot be powered from IT†supplies. If your supplies are of IT type,
this unit must be powered by 230 V (2P+T) via an isolation transformer ratio
1:1, with the secondary connection point labelled Neutral, connected directly to
earth (ground).
