Installation and Commissioning 

 
 

Attention, mains voltage! The legal national regulations must  

be complied with. 

 
Installation, inspection, commissioning and troubleshooting of the control system 
must only be carried out by a competent electrician. Disconnect all lines to be 
assembled, and take safety precautions against accidental switch-on. 
 
The control system is exclusively intended for appropriate use. With each 
inappropriate change or non-observance of the instructions for use, any warranty 
or guarantee claim will be void. 
After unpacking the control, check immediately for any mechanical damages. In 
case of transport damage, this must immediately notified to the supplier. 
 

If damaged, the control system must not be put into  

operation.  

 
If it must be assumed that safe operation of the control or of the connected drives 
is no longer guaranteed, the conservatory control must be put out of operation 
and be secured against accidental operation. 
 
The control must only be operated as stationary system, i.e. only in a fitted state 
and after completion of all installation and start-up works, and only in the 
environment intended for this purpose. 
 
Elsner Elektronik does not assume any liability for changes in standards after 
publication of this instruction manual.
