The DRO must not be powered-on until verifying that the machine complies with the "2006/42/EC" Directive. 5.2.1 Declaration of conformity The declaration of conformity for the DRO is available in the downloads section of FAGOR’S corporate website at http://www.fagorautomation.com. (Type of file: Declaration of conformity). 5.2.2 Safety conditions Read the following safety measures in order to prevent harming people or damage to this product and those products connected to it. - Page 38 Do not work in explosive environments. In order to avoid risks, harm or damages, do not work in explosive environments. Working environment. This unit is ready to be used in Industrial Environments complying with the directives and regulations effective in the European Community. It is recommended to mount the DRO vertically, so its power switch of the back panel is at a distance between 0.7m (27.5 inches) and 1.7m (5.6 ft) off the floor and away from coolants, chemical products, blows etc that could damage it.
