Risk of burns due to hot anti-condensation heating surface
When the temperature control limit value is reached the anti-condensation heating is switched
on. Once activated, the anti-condensation heating can generate a great deal of heat. Contact
can result in serious injury, such as skin burns.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating cannot be touched.
● Ensure that the anti-condensation heating is switched off before carrying out any repair or
maintenance work.
Risk of injury at places that are difficult to access
If you do not use appropriate protective equipment when working in places that are difficult to
access you are at risk of injury. For example, sharp edges and splinters can cause injuries to
the head and skin. If you carry out work in the upper section using unsuitable ladders or similar,
you can fall and injure yourself.
● Use appropriate protective equipment, especially a hard hat and gloves.
● Use suitable steps or ladders when working in the upper area.
Shutdown as a result of an incorrect residual current monitoring device
If you use a residual current monitoring device (RCD), it is possible that the residual current
monitoring device will trip in error (nuisance trip). The converter may be switched off as a result
of the protection device tripping in error.
● To minimize the risk of faulty trips, use a type-B RCD.

Electromagnetic fields in electrical power engineering installations
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
installations. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, These devices can
malfunction if electromagnetic fields are present.
WARNING
Interference with pacemakers
The functioning of cardiac pacemakers could be impaired by electromagnetic fields. Death or
serious physical injury can result.
● As a consequence, it is not permissible for people with pacemakers to stand close to the
device.
NOTICE
Data loss
Electromagnetic fields can cause data loss to magnetic or electronic data storage media.
● Therefore, do not carry magnetic or electronic data storage media with you.
