Safety

Pro8000 system / page

Attention

Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters are

not to be used within the range of three meters of this unit since the

electromagnetic field intensity may then exceed the maximum

allowed disturbance values according to EN 50 082-1.

Mounting several PRO8000 (-4) in a rack, make sure to have 1 height-

unit space between the different housings to ensure proper ventila-

tion (ventilation slots are beneath the front panel!!)

To connect the unit to the mains, use only the supplied mains cord with safety mains

plug. The unit is grounded via the protective conductor of this cable. To avoid electric

shocks the plug of the mains cable must be inserted in a correctly grounded socket.

Interruption of the protective grounding could lead to health damage or even death

due to electric shock.

Please check prior to operation, if the line voltage, indicated on the rear panel agrees

with your local supply. If not please have a service technician change the line voltage

and the appropriate fuse.

Attention

Changing the line voltage is a service operation and must be done

only by qualified service personnel! (see section 5, Service).

To guarantee safe operation of the PRO8000 (-4) / PRO800 do not obstruct the

ventilation slots beneath the front panel and the fan air outlets at the rear panel.
