Safety Features
The device is equipped with the following safety features:
Fuses / thermal protection switches
Two fuses (230 V version) or two thermal protection switches (115 V
version) protect the device from impermissibly high power input. The
fuses are located right next to the mains connection on the left-hand
side of the casing. For descriptions of which fuses to use for which
device type, see chapter 12.3 "Specifications of the Basic Unit", page
140.
Overheating shut-down
The heating of the device is protected against overheating by a tem-
perature limiter. This triggers as soon as the temperature on the heat-
ing element exceeds the maximum allowed value and immediately
turns off the heating.
Door monitoring
The position of the door is monitored electronically. If the door is
opened, the shaker drive is stopped immediately. As soon as the door
is fully closed again, the shaker drive restarts automatically.
