Panel Explanation

Rear panel

CONTROLLER connector

Serves for connection of the controller KE-40B1.

LIQUID LEAK ALARM terminals

Serves to drive an external leak alarm. Normally the terminals are closed 

(short-circuited). When a leak is detected, the terminals become open.

These terminals accept electric wire with a 1.25 mm
