An Important Notice 

 

 

To ensure safety a 

Qualified Service Personnel

 should perform the installation.  

 

Make sure that the AC Utility outlet is properly grounded.  

  Do not open the unit there are no user serviceable parts inside.  Servicing of RPM should be 

performed by Qualified Service Personnel Only. 

 

Please make sure that the input voltage of the RPM matches the supply voltage.  

 

Make sure the RPM is installed in the proper environment as specified. 

  This RPM series is 

ONLY

 intended to be installed in an indoor temperature controlled environment 

that is free of conductive contaminants.  

  Do not operate the RPM in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near heating devices, 

water or excessive humidity, or where the RPM is exposed to direct sunlight.   

 

Select a location, which will provide good air circulation for the RPM at all times. 

 

CAUTION

 – To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a branch circuit with over current protection in 

accordance with the National Electric Code. 

 

CAUTION

 - Connect the RPM to a two pole, three wire grounding AC wall outlet.  The receptacle 

must be connected to the appropriate branch protection (circuit breaker or fuse).  Connection to any 
other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and violate local electrical codes.  Do not use 
extension cords, adapter plugs, or surge strips. 

 

Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged. 

 

CAUTION

 - To reduce the risk of electrical shock with the installation of this RPM equipment and the 

connected equipment, the user must ensure that the combined sum of the AC leakage current does 
not exceed 3.5mA. 

 

CAUTION

 - To de-energize the outputs of the RPM:  Disconnect the RPM from the AC wall outlet. 

 

CAUTION

 - Do not install this device if there is not at least 30 feet (10 meters) or more of wire 

between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel.
