• The use of the product in the proximity of ponds, wells, swimming pools, springs etc. is authorized
only if the product is operated via a ground fault circuit interrupter (circuit breaker FI, <=30mA).
In Austria, it is authorized to install and operate the product in the proximity of swimming pools and
ponds only if in addition to the ground fault circuit interrupter (circuit breaker FI, <=30mA) a safety
isolating transformer controlled by the Austrian Electro-technical Association is connected in line
