 2�- INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

CIRCUTOR

 would like to thank you for showing your trust by choosing one of our 

computer 

MAX

  series regulators. These devices are constructed with the latest state-of-the-art technol-

ogy, including a powerful processor to calculate the optimum algorithms for achieving the best 

compensation of cosφ.

The devices comply with the Electrical Safety Standard EN 61010, in accordance with the 

requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EC and EMC Directive (2004/108/EC) 

and, therefore, they are certified to carry the CE mark.

 

This user manual describes the operation of the 

computer MAX

 series regulators and shows 

the user the procedures required to install, commission and operate the devices.

        2.1.- SAFETY

The installation and maintenance of the device must be performed by duly trained 

and authorised staff and in accordance with the national and international stand-

ards. Any inappropriate manipulation or use of this equipment out of the condi-

tions specified by the manufacturer may involve serious dangers to the user.  

Before performing any maintenance operation on the 

computer

 and associated 

PF compensation equipment, be sure to disconnect the main switch. After discon-

necting the switch, wait at least 5 minutes to ensure that the capacitors are totally 

discharged.

During the installation, maintenance or commissioning of equipment regulated by a 

computer 

MAX

 device, the following safety precautions must be observed:

 

Before connecting the equipment make sure that the earth terminals have been properly 

connected. A defective earth connection may cause a wrong operation of equipment and 

involves a danger of electric shock to the user or system operator.

 

Maintenance must be performed taking the necessary precautions to avoid electrocution 

and electric shock. Ensure that the device has been disconnected and wait the neces-

sary time to ensure that the capacitors are totally discharged before any maintenance 

action. We recommend the use of safety goggles and gloves when cabinet doors are 

open and protection covers removed.

 

If a PF compensation device is connected to mains and capacitors are accidentally 

connected without load, a resonance may occur. In such condition voltage harmonics 

may be amplified, cause overvoltage and damage the compensation device and other 

equipment connected to the mains

 

The start-up and interruption procedures indicated in the manual must be followed to 

avoid damaging the PF equipment and/or other equipment connected to mains.

 

The adjustment or replacement of components or parts of the device must be made with 

original replacement parts and in accordance with the procedures described in the cor-

responding instruction manual.
