the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord. 

 

Make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust. 

 

Only install the device with the hanging bracket. 

 

Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel. 

 

Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the device and the power-

cord from time to time. 

 

If the external cable is damaged, it has to be replaced by a qualified technician. 

 

If the lens or glass is obviously damaged, it has to be replaced. So that its functions are not impaired, 

due to cracks or deep scratches. 

 

If device is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified 

engineer inspect for safety before operating. 

 

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not 

switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the 

device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
