(Detail from the instruction manual)
The system is designed for stationary use in an outdoor area. Make certain that the specified
environmental conditions are maintained at all times. Use in non-specified environments,
e.g. on board ships, in explosive atmospheres or at high altitude (see the climatic environmental
conditions) is prohibited.
CAUTION
Hazard due to condensation!
Condensation may form if the system has not had sufficient time to settle to the
environmental conditions following transport or before it is put into operation
again. (Connection to AC supply is required.)
3.1.1 Environmental conditions
Observe the environmental conditions information in the technical data (4 Technical data).
3.1.2 Requirements regarding installation location
