 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.

m

 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.

m

 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.

m

 WARNING

The WMPR must be installed in accordance with the 
requirements specified in this document in order to 
comply with the specific Country Communication Agency 
requirements (i.e., FCC, IC, ACMA, etc.). See Section 3

 

as this 

requires choosing the correct Country Use Code and thus 
allowable antenna and/or cable usage.

,

 CAUTION

Power to the WMPR should not be applied during installation 
of an antenna as damage could occur to the WMPR 
electronics.

m

 WARNING

• 

The cable length of the customer-supplied dc power 
source to the WMPR supply terminals cannot exceed 
three (3) meters.

• 

The WMPR must be used indoors.

• 

The WMPR must be used inside a cabinet and can only 
be accessed during set-up or maintenance.
