1. WARNINGS
1.1 POWER SUPPLY AND EARTHING
These items of equipment are intended to work on a 230 VAC +10% / -15%, 50/60 Hz mains voltage and a 24 VDC supply from
the internal batteries.
! N.B. – FEATURES OF THE WIRING SYSTEM
The mains AC power MUST be supplied through a two-pole differential thermal-magnetic circuit breaker with a current
of 10 to 16A dedicated SOLELY to the equipment.
!N.B.
These devices have been designed to be connected to an earthed power supply.
Make sure that the equipment is always connected to earth in accordance with legal regulations.

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
!N.B.
Please remind that the operations illustrated in this part of the manual must be carried out by specialised personnel
ONLY, trained and qualified in the equipment installation and maintenance. When the VAIE 5500 is opened, parts entailing
a high risk of electric shocks become accessible.
It is advisable to install the equipment in a closed and sheltered place, protected against possible sources of damage (rain,
moisture, high temperatures, etc.).
Depending on requirements, the cables can be inserted by eliminating either the plugs sealing the holes in the top or the rear door
(in both cases use a flat screwdriver or a cutter to lift them and remove them).
!It is important to keep the power cables separate from those dedicated to the other connections.
4.1 WALL MOUNTING
Take the cardboard template included in the package and position it
at a suitable height so that it is accessible to the user. Ideally, the front
display should be at eye level.
Having decided on the position, mark the five points on the wall, drill
the holes and fit Fischer wall plugs (min. Ø 9 mm) equipped with bolts
into them.
Using the wall plugs as reference pins, lift the equipment and hook it to
the wall. It is advisable for this activity to be carried out by two people.
Tighten the bolts.
