SAFETY

  • Disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance.
  • Before connecting the system to the electrical supply, ensure that the system is suitable for the local mains

voltage. Refer to the serial plate on your system for voltagerequirements.

The general process of automated document handling can sometimes create a build up of static electricity. Therefore we

recommend that the following measures are taken to reduce the side effects of any electrostatic charge.

  • Make sure that you operate the system within the recommended temperature andhumidity conditions.
  • Make use of antistatic mats where appropriate.
  • If necessary, make use of an ionizer to reduce static charge build up in the room where the system is located.

Please contact your supplier for further information.

  • Only competent, trained personnel should operate this system. If non-trained personnel do operate this system,

the manufacturer will not accept responsibilityfor any resulting accidents or injuries.

  • Only skilled persons, who are aware of the risks involved, may open the protective covers.For safety reasons,

the system will not function when the covers are open.

  • Keep long hair, fingers, jewelry, etc. away from rotating and moving parts.
  • The power connection must be easily accessible, preferably close to the system.For safety reasons, it is

essential that the system is connected to a socket outlet that has a protective earth (ground) connection.

  • Overcurrent protection in the equipment also relies on the branch circuit protection (max. 20 A).
  • The following part(s) is (are) considered the equipment disconnect device(s):
  • Power supply cord plug or appliance coupler.

In Denmark, certain types of Class 1 appliances may be provided with a plug that does not provide an adequate earth

(ground) connection when inserted into a Danish socket outlet. Make sure the system has a good functioning connection

that has protective earthing (the plug and socket outlet must match).

  • Establish an earth (ground) connection before connecting the mains plug to the power supply.
  • First disconnect the power supply before removing the earth (ground) connection.
