grid or a generator.
• It is not permitted to operate the PA Link1 parallel switch box without fitted
cover of the terminals, without casing, or with a damaged casing.
• The device may not be installed outdoors.
• An autonomous power supply system (including PA Link1 parallel switch box)
must not be installed, operated or maintained in locations where inflam-
mable gases and vapours can occur, in dusty environments, or in the vicinity
of solvents (danger of fire and explosion: ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated).
• The PA Link1 parallel switch box, inverters and batteries must not be used in
the vicinity of open fires, flames or sparks.

XIf acid splashes into the eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek
medical advice.
2.3 Behaviour in the case of faults
DANGER
• The connected inverters do not appear to function.
• Parallel switch box, inverter, alternating current cable or battery cable
