The following general safety precautions must be observed by the installer and the operator.
ALCATEL assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
• Ground the equipment: for Safety Class 1 equipment, always connect the earth conductor of
the power cable to an appropriate earthing device.
• DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in presence of flammable
gases or fumes.
• For protection against fire: replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the same voltage and
current rating and type.
• Dangerous voltages: users must not remove equipment covers or shields. The installation
and maintenance procedures described in this manual are for use by service-trained personnel
only.
• Protection against short circuits: the mains equipment should ensure protection against
short circuits according to the current domestic standards (residual current differential protec-
tion recommended).
• Observe the standards in force for all activities carried out on the roofs.
• For any on-site intervention, observe the precautions against lightning.
• DO NOT operate equipment which may be damaged: its protection level could be affec-
ted.
• Whenever it is possible that the safety protection features built into this equipment have been

• Recommendation to installers and maintenance operators: before carrying out any ope-
rations, check the equipotential bonding of the earthing devices to which our measurement

potential bonding by electrical connection of these devices.
