Limax
120 is a Class 1 system (acc. to IEC 60601) and therefore must be connected to a duly
grounded power supply system in accordance with the specifications contained herein (see
section 11 "Technical Data", page 103).
Prior to connecting the unit to the power supply, verify that the mains voltage is the
•
correct one for the Limax
Connection", page 37.
•
When connecting the 200–240 V mains cable (U version), be sure to follow the instructions
provided in section 6.2.11 "Connecting the Limax
page 33.
For complete disconnection from the power supply, turn off the integrated VAC separately
•
on the rear panel of the Limax
Only the mains cables provided may be used. Note that the mains cables for the laser and
•
the smoke evacuator (VAC) are not the same. Assign correctly!
The mains cables and their connectors must be in perfect working order and may never be
•
used if in any way defective.
•
Never turn on the laser system if any part of its housing is not fixed in place as intended.
Be aware that laser radiation can be emitted from an open laser unit in an uncontrolled
manner! Moreover, there is a risk of exposure to dangerously high electric voltages or
currents.
