Installation Notes 

  Observe all local regulations from the electrical utilities or waterworks as applicable. 

Electrical 
Connections 

 

 

WARNING: 

Danger of death due to electrical voltage! 
Always disconnect power to the system before connecting wires of the main 
cable. 

 

CAUTION: Destruction or damage of reed contact! 

Note the maximum contact loads stated on the type plate. 

The maximum contact loads stated on the type plate (switching voltage, 
switching current, and switching capacity) refer to pure ohmic loads and may 
not be exceeded under any circumstances. 

High voltage and current peaks can occur, particularly when switching 
inductive or capacitive loads (for example, relay coil, capacitors). Even a brief 
overload can destroy (welding the contacts) or damage (reduced lifespan) 
the reed contact.
