1 General safety instructions
Ensure that you read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. All locally legislated safety regulations with

1.1 Work area
Keep the work area clear and well illuminated. Cluttered benches and unlit areas invite accidents.

PF is equipped with an isolated transformer. Test the earth fault protector by pressing the test button located
on the rear panel of PF.
Test the earth protector every month by pressing the test button. Should the earth fault protector disconnect
the system, be sure to find the primary reason before you resume operation.
