Machine set-up
regulations
Mains connec-
tion
The power source is designed to run on the mains voltage given on the rating plate.
The mains cable and plug are ready-mounted. For details of fuse protection of the
mains supply lead, please see the Technical Data.
Utilisation for
intended purpose
only
The power source is tested to “Degree of protection IP23”, meaning:
- Protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters larger than
12.5 mm (.49 in.)
- Protection against spraywater up to an angle of 60° to the upright
The power source can be set up and operated outdoors in accordance with IP23.
However, the built-in electrical components must be protected against direct wetting.
The venting duct is a very important safety feature. When choosing the machine locati-
on, make sure that it is possible for the cooling air to enter and exit unhindered through
the louvers on the front and back of the machine. Any electroconductive metallic dust
from e.g. grinding-work must not be allowed to get sucked into the machine.
NOTE! Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can lead to serious
damage. The mains lead, and its fuse protection, must be dimensioned in
accordance with the local power supply. The technical data shown on the
rating plate shall apply.
