WARNING 

PERSONAL INJURY 

 

DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency 

stop devices or in any other application where failure of 
the product could result in personal injury. 

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in 
death or serious injury. 

 

 WARNING 

Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical 
control applications where there is, or may be, a single point 
of failure or where single points of failure may result in an 
unsafe condition. It is up to the end-user to weigh the risks 
and benefits to determine if the products are appropriate for 
the application based on security, safety and performance. 
Additionally, it is up to the end-user to ensure that the 
control strategy results in a safe operating condition if any 
crucial segment of the control solution fails. 
Honeywell customers assume full responsibility for learning 
and meeting the required Declaration of Conformity, 
Regulations, Guidelines, etc. for each country in their 
distribution market. 

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in 
death or serious injury. 

 

 

WARNING 

RF EXPOSURE 

 

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile 

transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or 
more should be maintained between the antenna of this 
device and persons during device operation To ensure 
compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not 
recommended. The antenna used for this transmission 
must not be co-located in conjunction with any other 
antenna or transmitter. 

Failure to comply with these instructions could result 
in death or serious injury. 

 

 

WARNING 

 

The WGLA must be installed in accordance with the 

requirements specified in this document. See Section 3 
and Section 4 for EIRP requirements. Only the specified 
EIRP power settings, antenna types and gains and cable 
lengths (attenuation) as outlined in this document are 
valid for WGLA Series installations. 

 

CAUTION 

 

Power to the WGLA should not be applied (ensure 
battery is removed) during installation of antenna as 
damage could occur to the WGLA electronics.
