The OP must be brought to room temperature before it is commissioned.
In the event of moisture condensation, do not turn on the OP until it is
absolutely dry.
The OP was subjected to function testing before being supplied to you.
Should a fault occur for all that, please enclose a precise description of
the fault on returning the OP.
To prevent the OP from overheating in operation,
– the device must not be exposed to direct sunlight (this simultaneously
prevents fading of the foil front) and
– the ventilation slits in the device housing must remain free after
mounting.
On opening the panel, certain parts of the system become accessible that
may conduct hazardous voltage.
