IMPORTANT
ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
NEVER
remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent
(10%) or more, the performance of your stepper may be affected. Such conditions are not covered
under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a
licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER
expose this stepper to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors,
near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature specification is 40
degrees C, and humidity is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit breakers:
Avoid AFCI/GFCI circuit breakers if possible. These breakers may occasionally
trip during use because of the high inrush currents from the Stepper drive motor. This condition is
an issue with all Steppers and other products with large motors or electric heating elements like
ovens.
New laws in your area may require these breakers. If you do have these breakers and outlets in
your home and are experiencing nuisance tripping, you should check to see if there are any other
devices plugged into the same circuit like fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, coffee makers,
space heater, etc. Optimally the stepper should be the only device plugged into the circuit.
Our steppers have surge suppressors built in to help avoid nuisance tripping. We have tested
several AFCI/GFCI breakers and outlets with our products that do not trip when only the stepper is
connected. Brands we have tested are Eaton (Cutler-Hammer Series), Leviton (Smart lock pro)
and Schneider Electric (Canadian home series).
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded.
If your equipment should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER
- Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the
outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt/15 amp dedicated circuit and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated
below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (shown below) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-coloured rigid
ear-lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.
