    In case of malfunction or for the maintenance of the appliance, only a qualified personal shall be allowed to work on it. In such a case, it is necessary to use Sefram spare parts. Never cover the appliance: there is live tension.
  • Page 10 2.3. Conformity and limits of the appliance The DAS30 & DAS50 recorders are in conformity with CEI 61010-1 (2001-02). It includes high-potting (IR) with two primary insulation levels (IP). Thanks to them, the channels 1 to 4 are insulated from each other and from the carter. This architecture allows independent floating measurements within the limits of the admissible maximum tensions.
