ence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute

Power Source.
AirTools™ Control
I/O hardware uses a switching power
supply that automatically adjusts to the
applied voltage. Ensure that your AC
mains voltage is somewhere between
100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. Use only the
power cord and connector specified for
the product and your operating locale.
A protective ground connection, by way
of the grounding conductor in the power
cord, is essential for safe operation.
User Serviceable Parts.
There
are no user serviceable parts inside
the AirTools™ Control I/O. In case
of failure, customers inside the U.S.
should refer all servicing to the Syme-
trix factory. Customers outside the U.S.
should refer all servicing to an autho-
rized AirTools distributor. Distributor
