STANDARDS/DIRECTIVES

 

Our products are designed and manufactured in compliance to recognized standards and directives. This is certified in 

the Declaration of Conformity. 

COMMISSIONING 

Before commissioning the user need to check that the product is free of any damages obtained during transport or 

storage. 

Prior to first use, the user needs to make sure that the steps described in the commissioning part of the manual has been 

followed precisely. If the device is fitted with a third-party actuator, either supplied by the manufacturer or a third party, 

the user needs to make sure that the setup and commissioning for that product is carried out following that device´s 

own specific operation instructions. 

Please note

 that any actuator supplied by the manufacturer will not have been completely commissioned before 

shipping, as the setup of electrical connection and communication interface can only be performed on site. We 

recommend using a trained technician with knowledge of the chosen type of actuator for this task.      

Commissioning is the sole responsibility of the user. The manufacturer can not be held liable for any consequential 

damage.
