2.1.1 Mains disconnector in a portable device
The main switch ON/OFF is the mains disconnector, and also serves as the EMERGENCY OFF function. It
is located on the top of the device.
The connection for the mains cable (C19/C20 coupler) is located at the rear.
In an emergency, switch off the SORTIMAT using the main switch, position OFF.
Disconnect the mains cable from the electrical power supply, or pull out the coupler.
Secure the mains cable appropriately against unauthorized reconnection by placing
it where it can be monitored continuously.
Arrange the plug/socket combination at the place of installation so that it can be
observed clearly and reached quickly in an emergency.

The SORTIMAT features protection against reaching into the machine, in the form of the complete
housing.
