1.  Safety 
 
1.1.  Safety Aspects 
 
Observe all precautions to assure your personal safety. The generators comply with Installation Category II 
(excess voltage section). 
Pay special attention to safety and operation details! 
 
1.2.  Safety and warning label on the device 
Take note of the following explanations of the symbols used in order to achieve the optimum benefit from this 
manual and to ensure safety during operation of the equipment. 
 
 
This symbol warns of a potential risk of shock hazard. The symbol on an instrument 
shows that it can source 1000 volt or more, including the combined effect of normal 
and common mode voltages. Use standard safety precautions to avoid personal 
contact with these voltages. 
 
This symbol indicates where a caution is required. Refer to the operating instructions 
located in the manual in order to protect against personal injury or damage the 
equipment. 
 
GROUND  Indicates protective Ground Terminal 
 
*CAUTION” 
The “CAUTION” symbol indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to a procedure, 
practice or condition which, if not followed, could possibly cause damage to 
equipment. Such damage may invalidate the warranty. If a “CAUTION” is indicated, 
do not proceed until its conditions are fully understood and met. 
 
“WARNING” 
The “WARNING” symbol indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to a 
procedure, practice or condition which, if not followed, could possibly cause bodily 
injured or death. If a “WARNING” is indicated, do not proceed until its conditions are 
fully understood and met. 
 
 
Power Supply 
The equipment is intended to operate with a power supply not to exceed 250 volts between phase and neutral or 
between phase and ground. A proper ground connection through the ground connector of the power cord is 
essential for safe operation. 
Grounding the Generators 
The generators are grounded through the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a 
properly installed receptacle which was tested by a qualified electrician. Have the test performed before 
connecting equipment. 
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the generators are potential electric shock hazards. This 
may include components which appear to be insulated. The equipment must not be used if this protection is 
altered. 
Use the Proper Power Cord 
Use only power cords and connector specified for your product. Use only power cords in good condition. 
Use Proper Fuses 
To avoid fire hazard, use only fuses as specified in the parts listing for your product - matching type, voltage and 
current rating.
