1.5. Electrical installation

DANGER
The installation of the power supply must comply with
the standards in force in the country in which the mo-
torisation is installed, and must be carried out by qual-
ified personnel.
The power line must be exclusively reserved for the mo-
torisation, and equipped with protection comprising:
• a 10 A fuse or breaker,
• a residual current device (30 mA).
An all-pole power supply cut-off device must be provid-
ed. The switches provided to ensure all-pole cut-out on
fixed appliances must be connected directly to the power
supply terminals, and there must a separation between
the contacts on all poles to ensure complete disconnec-
tion under overvoltage category III conditions.
Low-voltage cables subject to inclement weather must
be at least H07RN-F.
It is recommended that you fit a lightning arrester (man-
datory maximum residual voltage 2 kV).
1.5.1. Cable run
DANGER
Underground cables must be equipped with a protective
sheath with a sufficient diameter to insert the motor ca-
ble and the accessories cables.
For overground cables, use a cable duct that will with-
stand the weight of the vehicles (ref. 2400484).

1.6. Clothing precautions

Take off any jewellery (bracelet, chain, etc.) during installa-
tion.
For manoeuvring, drilling and welding operations, wear ap-
propriate protection (special glasses, gloves, ear protection,
etc.).
