Frequently Asked Questions
What are the safety requirements for power connections?
The apparatus must be earthed and connected to a mains socket outlet with protective earthing connection. Use only a 5 amp fuse fitted in the plug.
Can I safely open or modify the unit myself?
No user-serviceable parts are inside, and all installation work should be done by qualified service personnel or system installers.
What to do if the power cord is damaged or disconnected?
If you lose a fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The connections must comply with local electrical code.
