Before you start the setup process, read the following sections carefully and in
particular observe all tips and warnings.
3.1.1 Safety Instructions
This section describes the safety instructions you must observe when setting up
and operating the ES5100.1 Desktop Housing.
Grounding/Protective Contact
The entire system is grounded using the protective ground conductor of the
power cord cable. Avoid the risk of electrocution when touching the housing by
ensuring that the power supply used has correctly connected protective contacts.
Supply Circuit Disconnect
The switch next to the mains socket is used as the way to disconnect the housing
from the supply circuit.
DANGER!
If there is no appropriate and correct grounding provided by the
protective ground conductor, exposed parts of the housing can be
current-carrying. This can lead to serious injury or even death!
Be sure to verify that the power cord cable has correctly connected
protective contacts!
Note
Disconnect the ES5100.1 Desktop Housing during a thunder storm or install
