• The unauthorised conversion and/or modifi cation of the product is not
allowed for safety and approval reasons (CE).
• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children! There
is a risk of a lethal electric shock!
• The product may only be operated on the mains voltage (see section “Tech-
nical Data”). Never try to operate the product at another voltage as this will
cause its destruction.
• This product is only to be installed and used in dry conditions indoors. The
product must not get damp or wet as this may damage it; danger of a fatal
electric shock!
• Do not use this product in rooms or under adverse environmental condi-
tions where combustible gases, vapours or dust are or where they may be
present! There is a risk of explosion!
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibra-
tions or heavy mechanical stress.
• If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, dis-
connect the product immediately and secure it against inadvertent opera-
tion. After this, arrange for an expert to check the product.
It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage,
- the product does not work at all or works poorly (where there is fl icker-
ing light, leaking smoke or a smell of burning, audible crackling noises, or
discolouration to the product or to adjacent surfaces.)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around since it could
become a dangerous plaything for children.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Em-
ployer’s Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating
Facilities are to be observed!
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instruc-
tions, please contact our technical service or another specialist.
Preparations for Connection and Installation
• The device must be voltage-free during installation and connection.
Turn the power off and ensure that none of the poles are carrying a current by remov-
ing the electric circuit's fuse, or switching off at the circuit breaker. Secure it against
unauthorised reconnection, e.g., with a danger sign. In addition, switch off the
appropriate earth-leakage circuit breaker.
• Check that the mains cable is free of current e.g. with an appropriate tester.
• The speed controller warms up when it is operated because a small portion of the
connected load is converted to heat depending on the functional use of the control-
ler. The nominal power of the speed controller indicated in the section “Technical
Data” is intended for the installation in a massive stone or concrete wall.
If you want to install the speed controller in a lightweight wall (e.g. gypsum plas-
terboard with wooden substructure), wood, lightweight building blocks (aerated
concrete) or in a surface-mounted housing, the maximum connected load must be
reduced by at least 20%.
This reduction is also necessary if you install several speed controllers close to one
another or if other heat sources are in close proximity to the speed controller.
Please note the following chart which shows the reduction of the connected load
(see also section “Technical Data”) indicated on the speed controller with regard to
the ambient temperature:
