1. 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
