■ Operation using a defective power supply unit (e.g. short circuit from the mains
voltage to the output voltage) may result in life-threatening voltages at the
instrument!
WARNING!
Residual media in dismounted instruments can result in a risk to persons, the environ-
ment and equipment. Take sufficient precautionary measures.
Do not use this instrument in safety or Emergency Stop devices. Incorrect use of the
