  Your VARIABOX has now been installed completely and is ready for operation.

Routine inspections

Before each use
Check the device including the flaps and viewing window for any externally visible signs of damage. In-

form a qualified electrician if you identify any damage.
Every six months
If in the respective design of the VARIABOX an FI circuit breaker is installed, it must be tested regular-

ly. The test intervals depend on the specific application and may vary.

  1.  Put the switch lever to the "I" position.
  2.  Press the "T" test button.

 

ð

  The FI circuit breaker trips and the switch lever jumps to the "0" position.

  3.  If the FI circuit breaker does not trip, the VARIABOX must be put out of operation. Inform an 

electrician.
