The OI-7032 should only be used in an environment that constantly remains between the range of
-20 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. If the OI-7032 is at risk of being exposed to temperatures that are
outside the previously stated range, DO NOT install the device in that location. For applications
in areas with the potential of reaching extreme temperatures, Otis Instruments recommends using
the OI-7032 indoors only (in a temperature-controlled environment).
•
Even when the Power switch is in the off position, the AC and DC terminals are still hot—
regardless of if the device is wired as DC.

●
Provide a clean and stable 24 Volts DC (nominal; 22-26 Volts DC) voltage. Failure to to do
so may cause the unit (and any wired sensors that are connected to the unit) to not operate
properly.
●
Voltage spikes higher than 26 Volts may damage the unit.
●
Solar Panel power (with battery backup): This options may be used to power the unit,
however, care must be taken to ensure the proper voltage and wattage is used.
NOTE: The size that the solar panel should be (10, 30, 50, or 100 watts, for example) depends
on several factors, including: geographical area, line-of-sight access to the sun, number of
wired sensors connected, and weather conditions.
Please consult a solar panel manufacturer for specific details. Otis Instruments, Inc. may
also be contacted to provide guidance and recommendations.
