charged persons or objects are hazardous to these components.
In the worst case scenario, they will be destroyed immediately or
will fail after start-up.
• Observe the requirements in accordance with DIN EN 61340-5-1
to minimize or avoid the possibility of damage caused by
sudden electrostatic discharge!
• Do not touch electronic components while the operating voltage
is switched on!
