About this Instruction Manual

This Instruction Manual is designed to help you quickly install and operate the RVC Controller.

Before installation and operation of the RVC Controller, read this notice carefully. Keep it at the

disposal of people in charge of installation, maintenance and operation.

Safety

Installation, maintenance and operation of the PF Controller must be performed by qualified

electricians.

Do not work under voltage.

Do not open the PF Controller’s housing. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

The PF Controller is connected to a current transformer. Do not unplug the current transformer

connections before making sure it is short-circuited or connected to another parallel load of

sufficiently low impedance. Failure to do so can create dangerous over voltages.

Do not use this product for any other purpose than its original aim.

Electromagnetic compatibility

This PF Controller has been verified for compliance with EU (European Union) directives for

EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) for operation at 50 Hz and bears the CE marking to this

effect.

Useful guidelines for improvement of EMC performance may be consulted in chapter 14

Electromagnetic Compatibility.
