Risk of injury when hot surfaces on the cabinet anti-condensation heating are touched
During operation, the cabinet anti-condensation heating can reach high temperatures and
cause burns if touched.
• Allow the cabinet anti-condensation heating to cool down before starting any work.
• Use the appropriate personnel protection equipment, e.g., gloves.
Note
Providing supply voltage with temperature control
The supply voltage can be provided by means of a temperature control, to avoid
unnecessary operation of the anti-condensation heating at higher ambient temperatures.
