equipment or systems if adequate protection against failure has not been included in the system design.
Designers must include this Important Notice in operating procedures and system manuals.
These products should not be used in non-industrial applications or life-support systems without first
consulting ELPRO.
1. A radio license is not required in some countries, provided the module is installed using the aerial and
equipment configuration described in the 245U-E Installation Guide. Check with your local distributor
for further information on regulations.
2. Operation is authorized by the radio frequency regulatory authority in your country on a non-
protection basis. Although all care is taken in the design of these units, there is no responsibility taken
for sources of external interference. Systems should be designed to be tolerant of these operational
delays.
3. To avoid the risk of electrocution, the aerial, aerial cable, serial cables and all terminals of the 245U-E
module should be electrically protected. To provide maximum surge and lightning protection, the
module should be connected to a suitable earth and the aerial, aerial cable, serial cables and the
module should be installed as recommended in the Installation Guide.
4. To avoid accidents during maintenance or adjustment of remotely controlled equipment, all equipment
should be first disconnected from the 245U-E module during these adjustments. Equipment should
carry clear markings to indicate remote or automatic operation. For example, “This equipment is
remotely controlled and may start without warning. Isolate at the switchboard before attempting
adjustments.”
5. The 245U-E module is not suitable for use in explosive environments without additional protection.
6. The 245U-E operates using the same radio frequencies and communication protocols as commercially
available off-the shelf equipment. If your system is not adequately secured, third parties may be able to
gain access to your data or gain control of your equipment via the radio link. Before deploying a system
make sure you have considered the security aspects of your installation carefully.
