2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ATTENTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL MODULE WHEN IT IS UNDER POWER.
When the control module is under power (or the machine is in rotation) the upper part of the device
(connection side) and all parts electrically connected to it contain lethal voltage. There could be also
components with high temperatures that are dangerous in the event of direct contact during normal operation
on the component module.
Any operation on the cabling and/or mechanical installation of the regulator must be performed by
qualified and informed personnel, with the generator halted and making sure that a sufficient amount
of time has passed for the regulator components to have cooled down to a temperature that is not
dangerous to personal safety.
Each calibration operation must be performed with the machine running without a load by qualified
and informed personnel using the proper tools to guarantee electrical safety (for example, insulated
screwdrivers) and wearing all of the necessary personal safety devices (especially safety glasses and
protective gloves).
Marelli Motori denies any responsibility for damage to the regulator, system or people, for loss of profit or money, or for system
shutdowns caused by the failure to observe the safety and/or installation/use instructions reported in this User Manual.
