  • Extra notes in the data
    The manufacturer recommends that when detecting that the equipment switches the parameter setting page unintentionally, this unit must be segregated and the local representative must be activated. According to the company, this situation can occur when there is an electrostatic discharge of very high voltages, higher than the values ​​established in standard and the probability of occurrence increases in low humidity environments. Changing the button material increases the degree of protection of the equipment against electrostatic discharge even though the current button meets the ELETROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY standard requirement. In addition, the alarm system continues to operate and the unit continues to ventilate normally. Therefore, the risk associated with failure was considered low. No additional risks were identified from the button change since it is already used in another line of equipment of the company for the same application.
