 – The device must be disconnected from the power source 

before the installation and/or maintenance can start. The device 
must not be used when a failure may cause personal injury.

3.  Electricity

 - The housing is electrically isolated from the ground of 

the power supply. Exceeding the permissible operating voltage or 
exceeding the maximum allowed switching current per channel can 
lead to the destruction of the device or to a significant shortening of 
the lifetime of the connected LED lighting module.
