1.  GENERAL WARNING 

 

Symbol  

  warns the user about the presence of non-insulated "dangerous voltage" inside the product 

area, which may cause electric shock. 

 

Symbol   

    warns  the  user  about  the  presence  of  important  operating  and  maintenance  (assistance) 

instructions found in the documentation attached to the device. 

 

 

Dixell Srl reserves the right to modify this manual without prior notice. The documentation can be downloaded 
from www.dixell.com even prior to purchase. 

 

 

This manual forms part of the product and must always be kept near the device for easy and quick reference.  

 

 

The device cannot be used as a safety device. Verify the limits of application before using the device. 

 

 

Verify  that  the  power  supply  voltage  is  correct  before  connecting  the  device.  Do  not  expose  it  to  water  or 
humidity.  Use  the  controller  only  within  the  operating  limits,  avoiding  sudden temperature changes and high 
atmospheric  humidity,  which  may  result  in  the  formation  of  condensate.  Warning:  disconnect  all  the  electric 
connections before performing maintenance. The device must not be opened.  

 

 

The  customer  shall  bear  full  responsibility  and  risk  for  product  configuration  in  order  to  achieve  the  results 
pertaining to installation and/or final equipment/system.  

 

Upon the customer's request and following a specific agreement, Dixell s.r.l. may be present during the start-
up  of  the  final  machine/application,  as  a  consultant,  however,  under  no  circumstances  can  the  company  be 
held responsible for the correct operation of the final equipment/system. 

 

 

Since 

Dixell 

products 

form 

part 

of 

very 

high 

level 

of 

technology, 

qualification/configuration/programming/commissioning  stage  is  required  to  use  them  as  best  as  possible. 
Otherwise, these products may malfunction and Dixell cannot be held responsible. The product must not be 
used in any way that differs from that stipulated in the documentation. 

 

 

The device must never be hand-held while being used. 

 

 

It is good practice to bear the following in mind for all Dixell products: 

 

•  Prevent the electronic circuits from getting wet as contact made with water, humidity or any other type of 

liquid can damage them. Comply with the temperature and humidity limits specified in the manual in order 
to store the product correctly. 

•  The  device  must  not  be  installed  in  particularly  hot  environments  as  high  temperatures  can  damage  it 

(electronic  circuits  and/or  plastic  components  forming  part  of  the  casing).  Comply  with  the  temperature 
and humidity limits specified in the manual in order to store the product correctly. 

•  Prevent the device from being dropped, knocked or shaken as either can cause irreparable damage. 
•  Do not clean the device with corrosive chemical products, solvents or aggressive detergents. 
•  The device must not be used in applications that differ from that specified in the following material. 
 

 

Dixell  Srl  reserves  the  right  to  vary  the  composition  of  its  products  without  prior  notice  to  the  customer,
