Intended use
The VARIABOX is used as a power distributor indoors and outdoors as a wall combination or as a por-
table distributor.
The VARIABOX is built for professional use. The installation and the fixed connection to the mains
supply should be carried out only by trained and qualified experts.
Any use going beyond the intended use is considered to be improper. The manufacturer is not liable
for damages resulting from improper use. Any such risk shall be borne solely by the user.
In case of unauthorised modifications or conversions, the CE conformity becomes null and void, and
thus, also all claims for warranty. Modifications may lead to risks for life and limb as well as damage
to the VARIABOX or loads connected.
Factory-fitted labels and markings on the VARIABOX should not be removed, modified or blurred.
Protect against foreign bodies and impact of weather
The VARIABOX complies with the protection degree IP44, IP54 or IP67 according to
DIN EN 60529
(VDE 0470-1), (depending on the respective design, see Design and function [
}
8]). Each of these
mean:
– Protection degree IP44:
– Protected against solid bodies with a diameter beyond 1.0 mm, e.g. a wire
– Protection against water sprayed from all sides
– Protection degree IP54:
– Protected against dust in damaging quantity
– Complete protection against contact
– Protection against water sprayed from all sides
– Protection degree IP67:
– Dust-proof
– Complete protection against contact
– Protection against temporary immersion
If a VARIABOX with protection degree IP44 or IP54 is to be installed outdoors, we recommend also
installing a suitable weather protection roof, available in the accessories from Bals Elektrotechnik
GmbH & Co. KG.
