Important safety warnings:
The system power supply must be provided with an appropriately
positioned, clearly labelled full pole isolator or switch that can be used to isolate
and lock-out power from the IMx-16Plus unit during installation, maintenance or
modification work. The switch must be labelled "IMx-16Plus
” or similar
, with clear
identification of which IMx, if multiple units are deployed. The On/Off position
must be clearly marked.
The supply scheme should also incorporate suitable fusing or circuit breakers.
To prevent a hazardous event, power cable return and positive wires must
be secured together with a cable tie (for example, a nylon cable tie CV-100K)
close to the power connections, at the IMx-16Plus unit.

(16 AWG) or corresponding,
with minimum voltage requirement 300 V and temperature
range of −40 to
+70 ºC (−40 to +158 °F).

movement. Always use an appropriate cable gland at entry to any outer
enclosure and cable trunking or similar within it.
