Site Of Setup - VOLTCRAFT SW-4000 Notice D'emploi

b) Site of Setup
• Keep children away from the product. Choose the site of setup so that children cannot reach it. Children
may try to stick objects into the device. There is danger to life from electric shock!
• The product is only suitable for operation in dry, closed rooms. The entire product must never become
moist or wet. There is a fatal danger from electric shock!
• Choose a solid, flat, clean and sufficiently large surface for the product. Depending on the operating
site, a suitable holder is required (specifically in vehicles).
• Avoid the following adverse ambient conditions at the site of setup or during storage or transport:
- dampness or high humidity
- cold or heat, direct solar radiation
- dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- strong vibration, impact or blows,
- strong magnetic fields as present near machines or speakers
• Do not place the product next to a radiator, fan, air conditioning or similar. Keep the product away from
dust and dirt.
• Do not put the converter onto the rechargeable battery.
• Never place the product on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet, tablecloth). Always use a suitable, non-
flammable, heatproof surface.
• Do not place the product on any valuable furniture surfaces without using suitable protection. Heat may
cause colour or material changes. Scratches of pressure points on the furniture surface are possible as
well.
• If the converter (depending on version) has an installed fan, place the product so that the fan cannot
suck in any loose objects, curtains, etc. This not only poses a danger of damage to the product, but
also a danger of fire.
• Keep the product away from easily inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, paper), liquids (e.g. petrol) or
gases. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
This specifically applies to gases escaping from rechargeable batteries (e.g. for lead batteries). There-
fore, observe the corresponding ventilation and do not place the inverter and the rechargeable battery
in the same room.
• Keep the inverter away from sources of open fire (e.g. candles), and do not place them on the inverter.
• The product must be easily accessible so that it can be switched off or disconnected from the voltage
source quickly in case of error.
• Avoid operation in direct proximity of strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, transmitter aerials or
HF generators. This can affect the control electronics.
• Do not place any containers filled with liquid, e.g. vases or plants, on or next to the product.
Liquids entering the inverter will destroy it. There also is the utmost risk of potentially fatal electric
shock.
In this case, disconnect the product from the voltage/current supply at once. No longer operate the prod-
uct. Have the product inspected by a specialist workshop or dispose of it environmentally compatibly.
• Secure or attach the inverter and all cables, e.g. when using them in a vehicle, so that proper operation
of the vehicle is ensured and the inverter cannot come loose.
