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.
