This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed during the installation and
operation of this product. Read all instructions and safety information contained in this manual.
Exercise caution when handling or operating equipment. Live power may be present.
• Do not short (+) and (-) terminals.
• Do not submit to excessive mechanical stress.
