Safety instructions

Intended use

This device is used to distribute electrical power to several connected consumers.
Use the device only as described in this user manual.
Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage.
No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intellectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience.
Other persons may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety.

Safety
DANGER!
Risk of injury and choking hazard for children!
Children can suffocate on packaging material and small parts. Children can injure themselves when handling the device. Never allow children to play with the packaging material and the device. Always store packaging material out of the reach of babies and small children. Always dispose of packaging material properly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without supervision.
Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does not shed any small parts (such knobs) that children could play with.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
Within the device, there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not use the device when covers, safety equipment or optical components are missing or damaged.

DANGER!
Risk of death from electrical current!
A short circuit can cause fires and loss of life. Always use a properly insulated CEE cable to connect the unit to the 400 V mains grid.
Do not modify the CEE cable or the CEE plug. If the insulation is damaged, immediately switch off the power supply and have it
repaired. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire due to covered vents and neighbouring heat sources!
If the vents of the device are covered or the device is operated near other heat sources, the device can overheat and burst into flames. Never cover the device or the vents. Do not install the device near other heat sources. Never operate the device near naked flames.
NOTICE!
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions. Only operate the device indoors within the ambient conditions specified in the “Technical specifications” chapter of this user manual. Avoid operating it in environments with direct sunlight, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments with strong temperature fluctuations. If temperature fluctuations cannot be avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the device immediately.
Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in operation. In environments with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the device cleaned by qualified specialists at regular intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.
NOTICE!
Damage to the device due to high voltages!
The device can be damaged if it is operated with the incorrect voltage or if high voltage peaks occur. In the worst case, excess voltages can also cause a risk of injury and fires. Make sure that the voltage specification on the device matches the local power grid before plugging in the device. Only operate the device from professionally installed mains sockets that are protected by a residual current circuit breaker (FI). As a precaution, disconnect the device from the power grid when storms are approaching or it the device will not be used for a longer period.

NOTICE!
Possible staining due to plasticiser in rubber feet!
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may react with the coating of the floor and cause permanent dark stains after some time. If necessary, use a suitable mat or felt slide to prevent direct contact between the device’s rubber feet and the floor.

Connections and controls

Front panel

BOTEX-PSA-631-Power-Distributor-FIG-3

Residual current device (RCD). This protective device, also known as “Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalter” or “FI-Schalter” in German-speaking countries, is designed to protect persons. As soon as it detects differential current / fault current, it automatically disconnects the device from the mains.
Button for manual triggering of the residual current device (RCD)
[A], [B], [C], [D] | Line circuit breaker for the three phases L1 / L2 / L3 of the power distributor, which each supply one output.
In case of overload (> 32 A), the circuit breaker automatically disconnects the supply to the assigned CEE socket.
[L1 / L2 / L3] | Measuring instruments for voltage (“V”) and current (“A”) of the three phases
