Please note the loss of warranty and non-liability by unau-

thorised manipulation of the system. You need a written
permission of the Wilh. Lambrecht GmbH for changes of
system components. These activities must be operated
by a qualified technician.

The warranty does not cover:

1. Mechanical damages caused by external impacts (e. g.
icefall, rockfall, vandalism).
2. Impacts or damages caused by over-voltages or elec-
tromagnetic fields which are beyond the standards and
specifications in the technical data.
3. Damages caused by improper handling, e. g. by wrong
tools, incorrect installation, incorrect electrical installation
(false polarity) etc.
4. Damages which are caused by using the device beyond
the specified operation conditions.
