for the conversion of a DC voltage from a battery
to an AC voltage.
•
with a fuse, protecting the wiring between Mass
Sine and battery;
•
in a technical correct condition;
•
in a closed, well-ventilated room, protected
against rain, moist, dust and condensation;
•
observing the instructions in the users manual.
WARNING
Never use the Mass Sine in situations where
there is danger of gas or dust explosion or
potentially flammable products!

2.5 GENERAL SAFETY AND INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
•
Do not expose the Mass Sine to rain, snow, spray,
moisture, excessive pollution and condensing
circumstances. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not
cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not
install the Mass Sine in a non-ventilated area,
overheating may result.
•
The Mass Sine must be provided with an equipment-
grounding conductor to the AC-output ground terminal.
Grounding and all other wiring must comply with local
codes and ordinances.
•
In case of fire, you must use the fire extinguisher which
is appropriate for electrical equipment.
•
Short circuiting or reversing polarity will lead to serious
damage to batteries, Mass Sine and the wiring. Fuses
between the batteries and the Mass Sine can not
prevent damage caused by reversed polarity and the
warranty will be void.
•
Protect the DC wiring with a fuse, according to the
guidelines in this manual.
•
Connection and protection must be done in
accordance with local standards.
•
Do not work on the Mass Sine or system if it is still
connected to a power source. Only allow changes in
your electrical system to be carried out by qualified
electricians.
•
Check the wiring and connections at least once a year.
Defects such as loose connections, burned cables etc.
must be corrected immediately.
•
Do not touch the equipment when wet or if your hands
are clammy.
