Installation Precautions
•
Use lockout/tagout procedures on the branch circuit
disconnect before installing the interface board into the ASD.
•
Avoid installation in areas where vibration, heat, humidity,
dust, metal particles, or high levels of electrical noise (EMI)
are present.
•
Do not install the ASD or interface board where it may be
exposed to flammable chemicals or gasses, water, solvents,
or other fluids.
•
Where applicable, always ground the interface board
