Power cable safety Only use rubber-sheathed cables with quality H05RN-F acc. to DIN/VDE 0282 with a conductor cross section of 3 phases of 1.5 mm² each. The type designation must be marked on the pow- er cable. The plug and coupling socket must be made from rubber or sheathed in rubber, and be in accordance with DIN/VDE 0620. Only use a power cable with suffi cient length. The power cable, plug and coupling socket must be protected against splash water. Repairs on the power cable, plug and coupling socket are only allowed to be carried out by au- thorised specialist companies. A defective power cable (e.g. with cracks, cuts, crushed or kinked points in the insulation) is not allowed to be used. Protect the plug connections against moisture. Danger! Do not damage or cut the power cable. If the power cable is damaged, immediately discon- nect it from the mains. Electrical requirements 230 V/50 Hz alternating current Minimum cross section Power cable = 1.5 mm² Minimum fusing of mains connection = 10 A Residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) Maximum tripping current = 30 mA. Establishing the mains connection (05)

1. Connect the coupling part of the power cable to

the plug on the safety pushbutton switch (a).
