Mounting Controller Components
Install the controller in a location free from excessive heat (below 50ºC [122°F]), dust and
unauthorized handling. Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference can induce noise on
sensor wiring. Choose locations for the D8 and TB50 such that wiring can be routed clear of
sources of interference such as high voltage wires, power switching devices and motors.
NOTE!
For indoor use only.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the D8 in a controlled
environment, relatively free of contaminants.
