technicians, or by operation or use of the equipment other than in accordance with the printed 
instructions contained within this manual or if the equipment has been improperly maintained or 
subjected to neglect or accident. Any of the forgoing will void the warranty.

Under most local electrical codes, low voltage wires cannot be run within the same conduit as line 
voltage wires. It is CETCI policy that all wiring of our products meet this requirement.

It is CETCI policy that all wiring be within properly grounded (earth or safety) conduit.
