    Furthermore, for safety and warranty reasons, interventions may only be undertaken by specialist personnel authorised by Condair. It is assumed that all persons entrusted to work on the Condair MN are familiar with and abide by the regulations on occupational health and safety and accident prevention.
  • Page 8 DANGER! Risk of electrocution The Condair MN's central unit runs on mains power. If the central unit is open, live parts may be touched. Touching live parts may cause severe injury or death. That is why the central unit must be switched off and disconnected from the mains power supply (remove the plug from the socket) before the central unit is opened.
  • Page 9 Preventing hazardous operating conditions If it is suspected that safe operation is no longer possible, the Condair MN should immediately be shut down and secured against accidental power-up. Then, contact the Condair representative. This can be the case under the following circumstances: –...
