General Notices
ELPRO products are designed to be used in industrial environments by experienced industrial engineering
personnel with adequate knowledge of safety design considerations.
ELPRO products use communications channels that are subject to noise and interference. The products are
designed to operate in the presence of noise and interference, but in an extreme case noise and interference
can cause product operation delays or operation failure. Like all industrial electronic products, ELPRO products
can fail in a variety of modes due to misuse, age, or malfunction. We recommend that users and designers
design systems using design techniques intended to prevent personal injury or damage during product
operation and provide failure tolerant systems to prevent personal injury or damage in the event of product
failure. Designers must warn users of the 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.
The ERT-A2 modules operate standards based protocols to communicate. If your system is not adequately
secured, third parties may be able to gain access to your data via the radio link. Before deploying a system,
make sure that you have carefully considered the security aspects of your installation.
Follow instructions

Proper use
Any unauthorized modifications to or use of this equipment outside its specified mechanical, electrical, or
other operating limits may cause personal injury and/or property damage, including damage to the

In Europe, you can return the product to the place of purchase to have the product disposed in
accordance with EU WEEE legislation.
Deployment of ELPRO products in customer environment
There is increasing concern regarding cybersecurity across industries, where companies are steadily integrating
field devices into enterprise-wide information systems. This is why ELPRO has incorporated secure
development life cycle in their product development to ensure that cybersecurity is addressed at all levels of
development and commissioning of our products.
