Main Extension Cables

Care must be taken when supplying the unit via long power extension cables. On 230V supplies the recommended cable 
is a 10AWG, 3-conductor. On 11V supplies extension cables are not recommended. 

Siting the unit

Position the unit to give good all-round ventilation. Do not block the air inlet on the rear panel or the front or side panel 
louvers. Preferably choose an off-floor location away from dust, dirt or damp.
