■
Computer connection
The AlveoPC cannot function without a connection to a computer to
extract and view results and for calibration and maintenance pur-
poses.
IMPORTANT The mixer's frequency inverter induces leakage current of roughly
10 mA.
❏
A 2-phase + ground plug must only be connected to a power
socket having a protective grounding conductor.
This is a safety measure: if the connection is impossible, under no
circumstances should you attempt to force it; have a suitable socket
installed by a specialist.
