WARNING
Electric shock due to missing ground connection
The converter must always be grounded. If the converter is not grounded correctly, extremely
dangerous conditions may arise within the converter which could prove potentially fatal.
• Install the converter only on TT and TN mains supplies.
WARNING
Fire due to high temperatures
During operation and for a short time after switching the converter off, the surfaces reach
temperatures that can start fires.
• Remove any flammable materials from around the converter to reduce the risk of fire.
WARNING
Electric shock due to unsuitable residual current device (RCD)
The converter can cause a direct current on the PE conductor. If the wrong type of protection
device is used, then the expected protection by such a device could fail to provide the expected
protection.
• If a residual current device (RCD) is used to provide protection in case of direct or indirect
contact, only a type B RCD may be used on the power supply side of the converter.
CAUTION
Burns due to high temperatures
During operation and for a short time after switching the converter off, the surfaces reach
temperatures that can inflict burns.
• Before attempting to touch the surfaces of the converter, ensure that enough time is given
to allow the converter to cool down to a safe temperature to avoid personal injury.
