Machine cooling
Insufficient ventilation results in a reduction in performance and equipment damage.
-
Observe the ambient conditions!
-
Keep the cooling air inlet and outlet clear!
-
Observe the minimum distance of 0.5 m from obstacles!
Mains Connection
The devices are designed to run on the mains voltage shown on the respective rating plates. If your
version of the device does not come with mains cables and plugs ready-fitted, these must be fitted
in accordance with national regulations and standards. For details of fuse protection of the mains
lead, please see the Technical Data.
NOTE
!
Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can cause serious
damage. The incoming mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the local power supply.
The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
Generator-powered operation
The power source is generator-compatible, provided that the maximum apparent power delivered
by the generator is at least 10 kVA.
NOTE
!
The voltage delivered by the generator must never exceed the upper or
lower limits of the mains voltage tolerance range. Details of the mains voltage tolerance are given
in the "Technical data" section.
