Attention 

This  manual  provides  all  the  necessary  information  regarding  the  mode 
of  operation  of  FVC  series  converters.  For  the  correct  use  of  this 
specific  equipment  it  is  recommended  to  refer  to  the  characteristics 
data sheet of the converter, which is an integral part of this manual.

 

This manual is an integral and essential part of the product. Read carefully and completely the warnings 
herein contained, they will provide important information regarding safety of operation and maintenance. 

This equipment must be used only for the purpose for which has been designed. Any other utilization is 
improper  and  therefore  potentially  dangerous.  The  manufacturer  is  not  responsible  for  improper, 
incorrect and unreasonable utilization of this equipment. 

Any  intervention  on  the  equipment,  that  would  cause  a  change  in  the  structure  or  in  the  cycle  of 
operation, must be performed or authorized by the technical department of Zenone Elettronica.
