1.  Preliminary Instructions

• General Warnings

This  equipment  should  only  be  operated,  installed  and 

maintained by “trained” or “qualified” personnel who are familiar 

with risks involved in working on electric and electronic circuits. 

“Trained” means personnel who have technical knowledge of 

equipment operation and who are responsible for their own 

safety and that of other unqualified personnel placed under 

their supervision when working on the equipment.   

“Qualified”  means  personnel  who  are  trained  in  and 

experienced  with  equipment  operation  and  who  are 

responsible for their own safety and that of other unqualified 

personnel placed under their supervision when working on 

the equipment. 

 WARNING: Residual voltage may be present inside 

the equipment even when the ON/OFF switch is set to 

Off.  Before  servicing  the  equipment,  disconnect  the 

power  cord  or  switch  off  the  main  power  panel  and 

make sure the safety earth connection is connected. 

Some  service  situations  may  require  inspecting  the 

equipment with live circuits. Only trained and qualified 

personnel may work on the equipment live and shall be 

assisted by a trained person who shall keep ready to 

disconnect power supply at need.

R.V.R. Elettronica S.p.A.

  shall not be liable for injury to 

persons or damage to property resulting from improper use 

or operation by trained/untrained and qualified/unqualified 

persons.

 WARNING: The equipment is not water resistant. 

Any water entering the enclosure might impair proper 

operation.  To  prevent  the  risk  of  electrical  shock  or 

fire, do not expose this equipment to rain, dripping or 

moisture.

Please observe local codes and fire prevention rules when 

installing and operating this equipment.

  WARNING:  This  equipment  contains  exposed 

live parts involving an electrical shock hazard. Always 

disconnect power supply before removing any covers 

or other parts of the equipment.

Ventilation slits and holes are provided to ensure reliable 

operation  and  prevent  overheating;  do  not  obstruct  or 

cover these slits. Do not obstruct the ventilation slits under 

any circumstances. The product must not be incorporated 

in  a  rack  unless  adequate  ventilation  is  provided  or  the 

manufacturer’s instructions are followed closely.

  WARNING:  This  equipment  can  radiate 

radiofrequency energy and, if not installed in compliance 

with  manual  instructions  and  applicable  regulations, 

may cause interference with radio communications.

  WARNING:  This  equipment  is  fitted  with  earth 

connections both in the power cord and for the chassis. 

Make sure both are properly connected.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause 

radio interference, in which case the user may be required 

to take adequate measures.

The specifications and data contained herein are provided 

for information only and are subject to changes without prior 

notice. 

R.V.R. Elettronica S.p.A.

 disclaims all warranties, 

express  or  implied.While  R.V.R.  Elettronica  S.p.A. 

attempts to provide accurate information, it cannot accept 

responsibility or liability for any errors or inaccuracies in this 

manual, including the products and the software described 

herein.
