Safety  

Suppliers of articles for use at work are required under section 6 of the Health and Safety at 
Work act 1974 to ensure as reasonably as is practical that the article will be safe and without 
risk to health when properly used.  
An article is not regarded as properly used if it is used ‘without regard to any relevant 
information or advice’ relating to its use made available by the supplier.  
This product should be installed, commissioned and maintained by trained service personnel 
in accordance with the following:  
 
(i)  IEE regulations for electrical equipment in buildings  
(ii) Codes of practice  
(iii) Statutory requirements  
(iv) Any instructions specifically advised by the manufacturer  
 
According to the provisions of the Act you are therefore requested to take such steps as are 
necessary to ensure that you make any appropriate information about this product available 
to anyone concerned with its use.  
The control panel is designed to be operated from either 110V or 230V 50Hz mains supplies 
depending upon model and is of class 1 construction. As such it must be connected to a 
protective earthing conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation and a readily accessible 
double pole disconnect device meeting the requirements of EN60950/IEC950 which 
disconnects live and neutral simultaneously shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Switch 
disconnect devices such as MK Sentry 63A or similar are suitable for this.  
 

Failure to ensure that all conductive accessible parts of this equipment are 
adequately bonded to the protective earth will render the equipment unsafe.  
 

The control panel is designed for indoor use only and at temperatures between -5

0

C (+/- 

3

0

C) and +40

0

C (+/- 2

0

C) and with a maximum relative humidity of 95%.  

 
The IP rating for the enclosure is IP30.  
 
Operation outside of these limits may render the equipment unsafe.  
 

Panel Mounting 

 

The control panel should be mounted on a dry, flat surface, at eye height to the display and 
in a level position such that the enclosure is not distorted. 

 

Screws or bolts of a minimum of 5mm diameter must be used to mount the enclosure in all 
three mounting positions. 
 
The panel can be semi or deep recessed using the bezel kit (HYCP-Bezel)
