2. Conditions for Safe Application
Nominal Power Supply
Mains voltage: AC 230 V ±10 %/50 - 60 Hz
All limits and restrictions defined for the voltage source must be upheld.
Chemical and Mechanical Resistance
Before the AS1-M alarm switchgear is deployed, it must be ensured that the materials
comprising the switchgear resist the ambient conditions present in the room in which the
device will be installed as well as sufficiently resist all other external influences from a
chemical and mechanical compatibility perspective.
In there is any doubt, an expert must be consulted before the device is deployed. The
product must not be used until final clarification has been made.
Exclusion of Damp and Moist Rooms
The AS1-M alarm switchgear must
not
be installed in damp and moist rooms.
Exclusion of Rooms That Can Become Flooded
The AS1-M alarm switchgear must
not
be installed in rooms that can become flooded.
Exclusion of the Effects of Moisture and Humidity on the AS1-M Alarm Switchgear
The AS1-M alarm switchgear must not be used in areas in which the device could be
subjected to moisture and humidity.
Exclusion of Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
The AS1-M alarm switchgear
and the M 1 (K) alarm contactor
must not be installed in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
Excessive Discharging
Not using the AS1-M alarm switchgear for an extended period of time can cause the built-
in rechargeable battery to become excessively discharged. This, in turn, greatly reduces
the service life of the battery, so that the device, when subsequently used, may not emit
an alarm in the event of a power failure.
