ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
ONLY USE THE SUPPLIED TRANSFORMER PLUG FOR CONNECTING UNIT TO THE MAIN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY.
WARNING!
It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following electrical instructions:
You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit
Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all
electrical products, particularly portable equipment which is plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.
You must
also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1 The
Electricity At Work Act 1989
requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by
a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2 The
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance,
and the safety of the appliance operator.
If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3 You must ensure that you:
Inspect the transformer plug, cable, adaptor for wear and damage to ensure items are safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
If worn or damaged DO NOT use, immediately replace, or contact a qualified electrician.
Check cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
Important: Check that the voltage marked on the transformer plug is the same as the power supply to be used.
Uncoil the power cable between the transformer and the powered product.
DO NOT
pull transformer power lead, or pull the transformer plug from the mains socket by the power lead.
DO NOT
use any other type of transformer with this product.

Cable extension reels
. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted is
recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cable on the cable reel is important.
We recommend that at least 1.5mm
2
section cable but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable reel is suitable for this product and
for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm
2
