SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

Follow the warnings described in this manual with the symbols shown below. 
 

 

DANGER 
Warns of a risk, which could result in personal injury or material damage. 

 

 

ATTENTION 
Indicates that special attention should be paid to a specific point. 

 

If you must handle the unit for its installation, start-up or maintenance, the following should 
be taken into consideration: 

 

Incorrect  handling  or  installation  of  the  unit  may  result  in  injury  to  personnel  as 

well  as  damage  to  unit.  In  particular,  handling  with  voltage  applied  may  result  in 

electric  shock,  which  may  cause  death  or  serious  injury  to  personnel.  Defective 

installation or maintenance may also lead to the risk of fire.  

Carefully  read  the  manual  prior  to  connecting  the  unit.  Follow  all  the  installation 

and maintenance instructions for the unit throughout its working life. In particular, 

follow  the  installation  standards  indicated  in  the  Low  Voltage  Directive  and 

additional technical instructions.  

The installation, operation and maintenance of LV units must only be carried out by 

authorised  installers.  LV  regulations  (Art.  22)  specifically  define  the  requirements 

that authorised installers must meet. 

If in order to install the unit,  you must work in areas that have high-voltage  (HV) 

units installed, then the personnel handling units in this area must be authorised to 

work  in  HV  installations.  See  National  Electric  Code  55/2004 dated  18-06-2004, 

which regulates the requirements and the operation of high-voltage installation and 

maintenance companies.
