2.1. General Safety Instructions
The product has been built and tested according to the basic safety requirements for low voltage (LVD) applications
and has left the manufacturer in safety-related, flawless condition. To maintain this condition and to also ensure safe
operation, the operator must not only observe the correct operating conditions for the product but also the following
general safety instructions:
The product must be used as specified in the product documentation, in which the instructions for safety for the
product and for the operator are described. These contain guidelines for setting up, installation and assembly,
maintenance, transport or storage.
The on-site electrical installation must meet the requirements of the country's specific local regulations.
If a power cable comes with the product, only this cable should be used. Do not use an extension cable to connect
the product.
To guarantee that sufficient air circulation is available to cool the product, please ensure that the ventilation
openings are not covered or blocked. If a filter mat is provided, this should be cleaned regularly. Do not place the
system close to heat sources or damp places. Make sure the system is well ventilated.
Only devices or parts which fulfill the requirements of ES1/SELV circuits (Safety Extra Low Voltage) as stipulated
by IEC 62368-1 may be connected to the available interfaces.
Before opening the device, make sure that the device is disconnected from the mains.
Switching off the device by its power button does not disconnect it from the mains. Complete disconnection is
only possible if the power cable is removed from the wall plug or from the device. Ensure that there is free and
easy access to enable disconnection.

the system). This may only be carried out by qualified operators.
If extensions are being carried out, the following must be observed:
all effective legal regulations and all technical data are adhered to
the power consumption of any add-on card does not exceed the specified limitations

operated.
Handling and operation of the product is permitted only for trained personnel within a work place that is access
controlled.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly (short-circuited, reverse-poled, wrong battery
type). Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The ext. supply has to meet the criteria for LPS (UL/IEC 60950-1) or PS2 (UL/IEC 62368-1).
