Site audit
A site audit is important in that it helps avoid technical and commercial problems in
subsequent phases.

Do not install SineWave in rooms with high levels of dust
(SineWave degree of protection is IP205, protected against
particles > 5 mm)

Sensor selection
CB1
! System performance is guaranteed on the condition that the
sensors are approved and supplied with the SineWave used
CB2
The sensor rating depends on the RMS value and the peak
value of the load currents requiring processing ! Always use the
rating indicated in the selection table or
the next highest rating (see Appendix in the CDST)

Setup
Except in special cases, the band width should be reduced to a strict minimum.
For most applications, it can be limited to H13 and even H9
Except in special cases, filtering should not be used (+32, +64, +96)
In the case of several SW are installed in the same place (same building),
a start up delay must be added with setup menu in order to delay start up
SW by SW
step about 10s.
This is to avoid auto instability between SW when Network Power is coming back.
