1. Safety guidelines
Important: Read before use!
In the following guidelines, “ePowerSwitch device” refers to both devices, the
ePowerSwitch M8 master and the ePowerSwitch S8 slave.
Check that the used power cables, plugs and sockets are in good condition.
Always plug the ePowerSwitch M/S devices into properly grounded power outlets (two poles
plus ground).
The electrical mains sockets to which the power cables of the ePowerSwitch M/S devices are
connected must be easily accessible and close to the ePowerSwitch devices.
Connect the ePowerSwitch M/S only to three-wire 230 V AC, 50–60 Hz mains outlets.
The total load per group of four power outlets of an ePowerSwitch device must never exceed
10 amperes.
This device does not have its own fuse. The electrical installation and/or the connected
consumer must therefore be designed and connected in such a way that the maximum
permissible current of 10 amps for IEC 320 connectors is not exceeded.
ePowerSwitch devices are intended for indoor use only. Do
not
install them in an area where
excessive moisture or heat is present.
ePowerSwitch devices contain potentially hazardous voltages. Do
not
attempt to
disassemble them.
ePowerSwitch devices do not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs must be performed
only by factory-trained service personnel.
Disconnect ePowerSwitch devices from the mains AC power outlet before installing or
connecting them to other equipment.
ePowerSwitch devices must be installed and used only by qualified personnel. The
manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage or injury – either direct or indirect –
resulting from improper use of the ePowerSwitch devices.
Do not open devices that are connected to the ePowerSwitch. Always disconnect the mains
plug first.
Connect only one consumer to each socket of the ePowerSwitch.
