• Whenever working on the equipment switch off all inputs and outputs to the power supply.
• Check whether the connection figures comply with the existing mains supply. Serious damage could occur due to connecting the system
to the wrong power supply. An incorrect mains voltage could damage the equipment or cause an electric shock.
• This equipment needs adequate ventilation. Do not cover ventilation grilles. If the heat it generates cannot be dissipated, the equipment
could be damaged or flammable materials in its immediate vicinity could be ignited. Take care to ensure that the air can circulate freely
through the ventilation grilles and keep flammable materials away.
