Safety Issues
Please read before installing the Tensor Recorder.
150 V CAT ll, UL listed - UL 60730-1/CSA E60730-1 Indoor Use Only , Max Load 1875 VA
Operating Temperature: -20° F to +135° F
The Tensor Recorder Voltage contains dangerous voltage levels during operation. Do not disassemble the
Recorder.
THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
.
Do not install or operate near open bodies of water.
The Tensor is intended for use with a standard, indoor, 15 amp 120VAC receptacles.
Do not use outdoors or in a wet location (as determined by the National Electrical Code).
Although the Tensor Recorder Voltage has been designed and built to be as safe as possible, great care should
always be exercised during operation and installation. The National Electric Code should always be followed.
The Tensor convenience receptacle is rated at 15 amps (continuous), for use with a 15 amp branch circuit. As
per the National Electric Code, the maximum allowable load on this receptacle is 12 amps. When the Tensor is
plugged into a 120VAC receptacle, this voltage is present on the convenience outlet. Use the same caution
with this convenience outlet as with any 120VAC source.
Do not use this outlet where normal breaker operation could cause a loss of power to life critical equipment or
cause a dangerous situation to exist.
A three-wire to two-wire isolation adapter may be used with the Tensor into a two-wire receptacle with no
earth ground. If this is done, the ground on the convenience receptacle is not connected to earth ground. Do
not plug devices which require an earth ground into the convenience receptacle if this grounding scheme has
been defeated.
The Tensor is not designed for use with medical equipment or situations where life-critical equipment is being
used. The convenience outlet in the Tensor is not a hospital grade receptacle.
Do not use near heat sources such as radiators and electric heaters.
