2. General information

2.1 Warnings, legal information and safety

2.1.1 Warnings and notes

Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.

To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the gener-

al text.

Warnings

Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal in-

jury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.

Notes

Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.

2.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer

DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the engine set. If there is any doubt about how to

install or operate the engine controlled by the unit, the company responsible for the installation or the opera-

tion of the set must be contacted.

The units are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will

be lost.

Disclaimer

DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.

2.1.3 Safety issues

Installing and operating the unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the instal-

lation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with

live electrical equipment.

Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement in-

puts as this could lead to injury or death.

2.1.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the

unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

2.1.5 Factory settings

The unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values and are

not necessarily the correct settings for matching the individual engine. Precautions must be taken to check

the settings before running the engine.
