INTRODUCTION

1.1.  Precautions

WARNING:  Read  and  save  these  in-
structions!

Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment 
is  used  in  a  manner  not  specified  by  the 
manufacturer.  Carefully  read  and  keep  the 
following instructions for future reference.

Although fuses at the input and outputs of 
the controller protect its circuits in case of 
an overload or over-voltage, we recommend 
installing an additional protection device on 
the controller’s supply circuit.

The room temperature where the controller 
is located must always remain between 32°F 
and 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Indoor use only!

To avoid exposing the controller to harmful 
gases or excessive  humidity, it is preferable 
to install it in a corridor.

If  the  equipment  is  used  in  a  manner  not 
specified by the manufacturer, the protection 
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do  not  spray  water  on  the  controller!  In 
order  to  clean  the  control,  wipe  it  with  a 
damp cloth.

The controller should be opened and inspected 
once a year for moisture. Proper care will ex-
tend the life of the control.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch 
power off at service panel and lock the 
switch disconnecting means to prevent 
power from being switched accidentally. 
When the service disconnecting means 
cannot  be  locked,  securely  fasten  a 
prominent warning device, such as a 
tag, to the service panel.

1.2.  Symbols of the Manual

Warning.  Read  the  following  text 
carefully;  it  contains  important 
information which, if ignored, may 
cause  the  controller  to  operate 
improperly.

High Voltage. Hazard of electrical 
shock. Read the message and follow 
the instructions carefully.

Pay  attention.  The  following  text 
contains very useful information.

Double insulation.

Both direct and alternating current 
(AC/DC).

 Direct current (DC).

Alternating current (AC).
  
Earth Ground Terminal
Primarily used for functional earth 
terminals which are generally asso-
ciated with test and measurement 
circuits. These terminals are not for 
safety earthing purposes but provide 
an earth reference point.

number  located  on  the  side  of  the  alarm 
system and keep this information for future 
reference.
