Safety Information

Carefully note and observe the following safety precautions when receiving, inspecting, installing,
operating, maintaining and troubleshooting. The following words, WARNING AND CAUTION, are used to
mark safety precautions when using the Eaton product. Failure to observe these precautions may void
the warranty!

Installation

Comply with instructions for installation. Otherwise it may cause equipment damage. 

Do not install the product in a location that is outside the stated specification for the device. Failure
to observe this caution may result in electric shock, fire or personal injury.

Wiring

Connect the ground terminals to a class-3 ground (ground resistance should not exceed 100

Ω

).

Improper grounding may result in electric shock or fire. 

Operation

HM

i

users should use screen editor software to perform editing. Using 

HM

i

without the screen

editor software may result in abnormal operation.

Do not modify wiring during operation. Otherwise it may result in electric shock or personal injury.

Never use a hard or pointed object to hit or strike the screen as doing this may damage the screen,
causing 

HM

i

to work abnormally.

Maintenance and Inspection

Do not touch any internal or exposed parts of the device as electrical shock may result.

Do not remove operation panel while power is on. Otherwise electrical shock may result.

Wait at least 10 minutes after power has been removed before touching any terminals or
performing any wiring and/or inspection as an electrical charge with hazardous voltages may still
remain in the unit even after power has been removed.

Turn the power off before changing backup battery and check system settings after finishing the
change (all data will be cleared after changing the battery).

Be sure the ventilation holes are not obstructed during operation, or malfunction may result.

Wiring Method

Remove the terminal block from the 

HM

i

before wiring.

Insert only one wire into one terminal on the terminal block.

If the wiring is in error, perform the wiring again with proper tools. Never use force to remove the
terminals or wires, or malfunction or damage may result.

Communication Wiring

Comply with communication wiring specification for wiring.

Wiring length should comply with the stated specification for 

HM

i

.

Ensure proper grounding to avoid bad communication quality.
