...processing unit


Explanation:
perhaps 'outside processing unit'?

Without having the full details in front of me, difficult to guess.

May I suggest contacting an electrical engineer or the reference library? Or the manufacturer of the unit.

do not translate or use "OVE certification"

the device was tested and certified by
ÖVE (Österreichischer Verband für Elektrotechnik)

Since this is a national service mark relevant for Austria you should not alter or translate it if used in product description, on product etc.

OVE-Mark


Explanation:
OVE, TÜV and GS are all symbols used to demonstrate a level of safety testing - the use of these symbols garantees that the relevant body has tested the product in question and that it has passed safety tests. The equivalent in the UK would be a BS-kitemark, Im not sure if the american UL-sign is used for products as oppposed to materials (UL is generally a measure of flammabilty etc, the other tests go further).
