3. WORKING PRECAUTIONS 

 

The manufacturer is not responsible of any damage that can possibly happen to the intercom

base station outside the limits of the warranty or those produced by not taking care with the working
precautions.

 

Mains voltage must be between the limits of the admitted power supply (90-264 VAC, 50-60 Hz)

and that the fuse must be the appropriate (2A slow blow type: T2A). Damage caused by connection to
improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty.

 

DANGER:

 Inside the unit there are high voltages, do not open it. The unit does not

contain elements that could be repaired by the user. Whenever the intercom base station
is connected to the mains, it carries elements with high voltages. In order to disconnect
the unit completely, you must disconnect it from the mains.

 

CAUTION:

 Protect the unit from the rain and moisture. Ensure that no objects or liquids enter it. If

liquid is spilled into the unit, disconnect it from the mains and consult a qualified service technician.

 

Do not place the unit close to heat sources.

4. INSTALLATION 

UNPACKING

Before leaving the factory, each intercom base station has been carefully inspected and

tested. Unpack and inspect the unit for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If
any damage is found, does not connect the unit to the mains; notify the sales person immediately;
a qualified service technician should inspect the unit.

Save the original packing, you could use if you need to transport the unit. 

NEVER SHIP THE

INTERCOM MASTER STATION WITHOUT ITS ORIGINAL PACKING.

MOUNTING

It is always recommended to mount the unit in rack, either for mobile or fixed installations, for

protection, safety, aesthetics, etc.

The ALTAIR WBS-202 is designed for standard 19" rack mounting, and takes up 1u high rack

space.

CHANGING THE FUSE

This unit incorporates an internal, worldwide voltage operation power supply, and it is

prepared to work from 90 to 264 VAC, 50-60Hz.

 Make sure that the unit is disconnected from the mains.

In the unit rear panel are placed the mains connector, the mains selector

and the fuse holder. The box bellows this mains connector is called fuse holder.
Take out the fuse holder.
