WARNING
: Wiring of this controller should be performed by qualified electricians only.
The following general electrical safety precaution should be followed:
Do a thorough inspection of the area before performing any maintenance.
Keep fluids away from electrical equipment.
Unplug connectors by pulling on the plug and not the cord.
Use fuses where appropriate.
Ensure all equipment is properly grounded.
Provide support to wires to prevent stress on terminals.
Mounting the Controller
To ensure proper and safe operation, caution must be taken at the installation site to make sure it is free
from excessive moisture, fluctuating temperature, dust and corrosive materials. Choose a mounting
surface with the least amount of vibration and not more than
0.125"
thick.
To mount the controller follow these instructions.
1) Choose a suitable mounting location based on the criteria above.
2) Create a rectangular cutout in the panel that is 3.9" high and 6.2" wide.
3) If applicable, snap the Relay Pak (RP100) to the back of the controller. Place one side of the
RP100s tabs into the slot on the back of the controller and without pushing on the relays, snap
the other tab into place.
4) Place the controller into the panel cutout so that the LCD screen and buttons are facing out.
5) Place the mounting clips into the designated slots on the top and bottom of the controller.
6) Tighten the screws on the clips until controller is snug against the panel. Do not over tighten, the
bottom of the screws should angle very slightly away from the controller.
