Safety Terms and Symbols in this Manual
WARNING
Statements identifying conditions or practices that may result in
personal injury or loss of life. High voltage is present.
CAUTION
Statements identifying conditions or practices that can result in
damage to the equipment or other property.
Ensuring Safety
The unit should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit.
Operate built in units only when they are properly fitted into the system.
For permanently cabled units without built in fuses, automatic switches, or similar protective facilities, the AC supply line must be fitted with fuses rated to the units.
Units of Protection Class I with an AC supply cable and plug that can be disconnected must be operated only from a power socket with protective ground contact:
Do not use an extension cable–it can render the protective ground connection ineffective.
Do not intentionally interrupt the protective ground conductor.
Do not break the protective ground conductor or loosen the protective ground connection; such actions can cause the unit to become electrically hazardous.
Before opening the unit, isolate it from the AC supply. Then, ensure that
Adjustments, part replacements, maintenance, and repairs are carried out by qualified personnel only.
Safety regulations and rules are observed to prevent accidents. Only original parts are used to replace parts relevant to safety.
Use caution when cleaning the equipment; isopropyl alcohol or similar solvents can damage or remove the labels.
Observe any additional safety instructions specified in this document.

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
Compliance
Preface
Directive 2011/65/EU—commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction on Hazardous
Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The
Directive, which took effect on June 8, 2011, refers to the following hazardous substances:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and
“lead-free.” (See our website for more information.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies with the
EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem.
Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either the producers or users of these products. As of July 4, 2012, the producers or users of these products were required to recycle electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states may have different deadlines.)

Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual Preface
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled. (See our website for more information.)
Contact your local sales representative for information on returning these products for recycling.
Equipment that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem.
