General

This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with terminal for protective earthing) and has been
manufactured and tested according to international safety standards.

Operation

Before applying power, comply with the installation section. Additionally the following must be
observed.
Do not remove instrument covers when operating. Before the instrument is switched on, all
protective earth terminals, extension cords, auto-transformers, and devices connected to it must
