NOTE
• The codes listed above may be improved or eliminated. Always refer to the updated codes.
• The class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the
electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There may be
potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations, due
to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
• This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12. If it is connected to a public low
voltage system, it is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to
ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the
equipment may be connected.
