3.1. General Installation Guidelines

Follow these geneneral guidelines when installing your Clavister E5 appliance:

• Safety

Take notice of the safety guidelines laid out in Chapter 7, Safety Precautions. These are

specified in multiple languages.

• Power

Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded and then use the power cord

supplied with the appliance to connect it to the power source.

• Using Other Power Cords

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the appliance,

be sure to use a cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for

power cords in your country. Such marks are an assurance that the cord is safe.

• Power Overload

Ensure that the appliance does not overload the power circuits, wiring and over-current

protection.

To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere

ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the appliance and compare the total

with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ratings for the E5 are listed in Appendix A, E5

Specifications.
