Wire cross-section WARNING! Danger due to insufficient wire cross-sec- tion! If wires with an insufficiently large cross-sec- tion are used, short circuits or fires may occur. − Only use terminals with a cross-section between 1 mm² and 2.5 mm² for flexible wires.
WARNING! Risk of injury due to uncontrolled behav- iour of connected loads! − Before starting the device, check whether the connected load could cause haz- ardous situations for persons. NOTICE! Damage to the device due to unsuitable installation location! Installation at an unsuitable location can cause damage to the device.
Page 21
− Only use the device in dry rooms and do not install close to devices with inductive discharge (motors, transformers, etc.). Residual risks The device is state-of-the art and designed in accord- ance with current safety requirements. However, residual risks remain that require caution when using the device. The residual risks, and the conduct and measures they require, are listed in the following.
Page 22
WARNING! Danger to life due to electric shock! Improper assembly and installation of the device can lead to life-threatening electrical voltages. − Have assembly and connection performed by a qualified electrician only.
Page 23
Personnel requirements Qualified electrician Professional training, knowledge and experience, and knowledge of the relevant standards and regulations allows the qualified electrician to perform work on elec- trical systems and to identify, and avoid, potential dan- gers of their own accord. A qualified electrician is specifically trained for the work environment in which they work, and are familiar with the relevant standards and regulations.

User The user is the person who uses and operates the device in compliance with proper use, without any prior knowl- edge.
Installation Electric connection and installation The device is installed on a flush-mounted socket (BS 4662 or BS 5733). The connection wire is either routed out of the flush-mounted socket or it is routed to the device on the wall. In general, the following instructions apply to both installation types.
