1 Safety Precautions

WARNING

(Prohibited actions)

(Do not touch)

(No water)

(No wet hands)

(Fire hazards)

(Injury hazards)

(Important actions) (Grounding required)

(Electric shock hazards)

Do not install the controller where there is a risk of leaking flammable gas.

If flammable gas accumulates around the controller, it may ignite and cause a 

fire or explosion.

To reduce the risk of shorting, current leakage, electric shock, malfunctions, 

smoke, or fire, do not install the controller in a place exposed to water or in a 

condensing environment.

Controller  must  be  installed  by  qualified  personnel  according  to  the 

instructions detailed in the Installation Manual.

Improper installation may result in electric shock or fire.

Properly  dispose  of  the  packing  materials.  Plastic  bags  pose  suffocation 

hazard to children. 

Take  appropriate  safety  measures  against  earthquakes  to  prevent  the 

controller from causing injury.

To  prevent  injury,  install  the  controller  on  a  flat  surface  strong  enough  to 

support its weight.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not place flammable materials or 

use flammable sprays around the controller.

To reduce the risk of damage to the controller, do not directly spray insecticide 

or other flammable sprays on the controller. 

To  reduce  the  risk  of  injury,  wear  protective  gear  when  working  on  the 

controller.

To reduce the risk of electric shock or malfunctions, do not touch the touch 

panel, switches, or buttons with a pointy or sharp object.

To reduce the risk of injury and electric shock, avoid contact with sharp edges 

of certain parts.

To avoid injury from broken glass, do not apply excessive force on the glass 

parts.

Do not install the unit in a place where large amounts of oil, steam, organic 

solvents,  or  corrosive  gases,  such  as  sulfuric  gas,  are  present  or  where 

acidic/alkaline solutions or sprays are used frequently. These substances can 

compromise the performance of the unit or cause certain components of the 

unit to corrode, which can result in electric shock, malfunctions, smoke, or fire.

Precautions during installation

WARNING

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of shorting, current leakage, electric shock, malfunctions, 

smoke, or fire, do not wash the controller with water or any other liquid.

Properly  install  all  required  covers  to  keep  moisture  and  dust  out  of  the 

controller. Dust accumulation and water can cause electric shock, smoke, or fire.

To  reduce  the  risk  of  electric  shock,  malfunctions,  smoke  or  fire,  do  not 

operate the switches/buttons or touch other electrical parts with wet hands.

CAUTION

To  reduce  the  risk  of  injury  or  electric  shock,  before  spraying  a  chemical 

around the controller, stop the operation and cover the controller.

To reduce the risk of injury, keep children away while installing, inspecting, or 

repairing the controller.

To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, stop the operation and switch off 

the power supply before cleaning, maintaining, or inspecting the controller.
