otes a bo u t sa fe t y a n d h a z a r ds • Observe the relevant VDE regulations. • If the power cord needs to be replaced, only use an OEM power cord (EMV!). • Only replace fuses with fuses of the same type, and which also have the same cut-off characteristics. • The standards IEC/EN/DIN EN 50083 resp. IEC/EN/DIN EN 60728 must be observed, especially concerning equipotential bonding and earthing.

• Do not place anything on the head-end station which could initiate fires (e.g. candles). • Due to the risk of fires caused by lightning strikes, we recommend that all mechanical parts (e.g. distributor, equipotential bonding rail, etc.) be mounted on a non-combustible base.
