PROTECTION VOLUME.- It is the volume situated within the horizontal planes previously stated for the prohibited volume plus another two vertical ones 1,00 meters away from those of the said volume. No switches, power sockets or lighting equipment must be installed within the PROHIBITED volume. Do not install switches within the PROTECTION volume; this does not apply, however, to safety power sockets. If possible the heater must be installed outside the PROHIBITED VOLUME so as to prevent water splashing against the unit. Power must be supplied via a multi-polar switch, circuit breaker
or contactor. Adequate power rating fuses shall be made available for unit protection purposes. All electrical installations shall incorporate an earthing connection. The plug used by the heater already has this connection and only has to be inserted in a mains socket of the same features. Make sure the household or place of installation does have an earth line. If not available, a differential switch is recommendable. The electric connection must be made with a power cable Type H05VVF 3x1,5 (Serie eco-R/RN).
