1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
ONLY USE THE SUPPLIED TRANSFORMER PLUG FOR CONNECTING UNIT TO THE MAIN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY.
WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following electrical instructions:
You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit
Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all
electrical products, particularly portable equipment which is plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by
a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. You must ensure that you:
Inspect the transformer plug, cable and connector for wear and damage to ensure items are safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
If worn or damaged DO NOT use but immediately replace, or contact a qualified electrician.
Check cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
Important: Check that the voltage marked on the transformer plug is the same as the power supply to be used.
Uncoil the cable between the transformer and the cabinet.
DO NOT pull transformer lead, or pull the transformer plug from the mains socket by the lead.
DO NOT use any other type of transformer with this product.
DO NOT place the power connector into any area of the cabinet other than the correct inlet socket.
DO NOT try to open or dis-assemble the transformer plug.
DO NOT use the transformer plug to power any other electrical item.
DO NOT get the transformer wet, or use in wet, damp conditions (for indoor use only).
WARNING! NEVER substitute a standard 13 amp 3 pin plug, or any other type of plug, for the transformer plug.
Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted is
recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cable on the cable reel is important
and should be at least 1.5mm
used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm
