The device is tested to “Degree of protection IP23”, meaning:
- Protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters > 12 mm (0.49
in.)
- Protection against direct sprays of water up to 60° from the vertical
The device can be set up and operated outdoors in accordance with IP23. Direct wetting
(e.g. from rain) should be avoided.
The devices are designed to run on the mains voltage shown on the respective rating
plates. If your version of the device does not come with mains cables and plugs ready-
fitted, these must be fitted in accordance with national regulations and standards. For
details of fuse protection of the mains lead, please see the Technical Data.
NOTE! An inadequately dimensioned electrical installation can cause serious
damage. The incoming mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the
local power supply. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
WARNING! Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and
damage. Do not use the functions described until you have thoroughly read
and understood the following documents:
- These operating instructions
- All the operating instructions for the system components, especially the
safety rules
The venting duct is a very important safety feature. When choosing the location for the
device, ensure that the cooling air can enter and exit unhindered through the air ducts on
the front and back of the device. Any electroconductive metallic dust from e.g. grinding
work must not be allowed to get sucked into the device.
WARNING! If one of these machines topples over or falls it could cause
serious or even fatal injury. Place device on a solid, level surface in such a
way that it remains stable.
