Installation
3.1
Mains connection
The standard therapy unit is to be connected to a mains voltage of 230 V +/- 15 %, 50/60 Hz.
However, a special version is also available for the connection to 115V +/- 15 %, 50/60 Hz. (The
actual value is shown on the rating plate at the rear of the unit).
Before connecting to the supply mains check the conformity of the voltage values of the available
mains and therapy unit. The therapy unit is to be only connected to a properly installed earthend
socket outlet by means of the shielded mains connecting cable included in the basic accessories.
For the 230-V mains we recommend a slow-acting 10-A fuse.
