Before conducting the start-up procedure, please carefully read and observe all of the points in
this instruction manual Only then can a correct operation of the power supply be ensured and
as a result, you‘ll be able to enjoy this product for a long period of time.
Never open the cover of the power supply. The electronic components sheeted there create a high voltage that
is dangerous to humans. After the separation from the network, the construction parts are often continue to
harness a high voltage. As such, a power supply may only be opened by authorized personnel.
In addition, the guarantee is deemed null and void once the power supply has been opened, thus damaging
the official guarantee seal.
Never operate the device with wet or moist hands.
Never place items in the openings/fanner of the power supply.
Please observe that the start-up procedure is only intended for interiors. The exterior usage can lead to heavy
damages. Do not conduct any work on the power supply when it is in a phase of line voltage. (In this situation,
always place the power switch to „0“ and if necessary, pull out the power plug).
Should there be a short circuit in the device, remove the power cable and do not bring the device back into
operation. Power supplys without a universal alternating current (AC) cannot be used in the countries where, for
example, there‘s a line voltage of 100V. The power supply can be destroyed if used with an incorrect or false AC
voltage portal.
This power supply is designed for a voltage range between 100 – 240V~ and thus, universally versatile.
Make sure that your PC is not situated directly next to a heater or another heat source because this can cause
a decrease in the lifespan of all components and thus,
lead to failures/casualties.
Make sure that there is a sufficient amount of ventilation in your computer case, for example, with an addi-
tional fan, because a current ATX power supply is not solely responsible for the evacuation of the complete
warmth produced in the PC case.
Should you want to clean your power supply, separate it completely from the power supply system and do not
use damp towels or cleaning agents. Only clean the power supply from the exterior using a dry towel.
Only start the operation of the power supply after an hour within the room air environment, because otherwise,
condensation can build up in the power supply.
