Important Safety Instructions

OPENING THE DEVICE

Do not open the device. There are no parts that can be serviced by the user inside the 
device. Fuses in the device may be replaced only by authorised personnel such as your 
specialist dealer.

POWER CONNECTION

Use the 

3

-wire power cable supplied with the device to connect it to the power supply. 

The protective earth contact must never be disabled. Furthermore, the device must be 
connected to a socket with a properly functioning protective earth connection.
The device has a power supply that automatically adapts to the mains voltage. 
This means that the device can be operated with any standard mains voltage.
Route the power cable in such a way that it cannot be damaged. Do not continue to 
use the power cable if it is damaged. Instead, switch off the device and contact your 
specialist dealer.

DISCONNECTING THE DEVICE PROPERLY FROM THE MAINS

To fully disconnect the 

151

 MK

2

 from the mains, use the easily accessible mains power 

switch on the rear of the device and then disconnect the power cable from the device.

SETUP

Consider the following points when choosing where to position the device:
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight as well as excessive heat, cold, moisture and dust. 
Ensure adequate ventilation. Never place the device on an enclosed shelf. The slots and 
openings on the device are used for air circulation. and must not be covered.
Do not expose the device to dripping or splashing water, and do not place containers of 
liquid on the device. Do not place any open fire sources on the device.

OPERATION DURING THUNDERSTORMS

r

 

ATTENTION: 

Overvoltages caused by lightning 

Overvoltages in the mains — caused by lightning strikes — may damage or 
even destroy the device.

 

$

If a thunderstorm is imminent, remove the power plug from the socket. It is not 
sufficient to simply switch off the mains power switch, as overvoltages are able to 
“jump” over contacts that are not closed.
