Publication 6180-6.0
Important User Information Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. "Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and
Maintenance of Solid State Controls" (Publication SGI-1.1) describes some important
differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
Because of this difference, and because of the wide variety of uses for solid state
equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves
that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes.
Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular
installation, Rockwell Automation cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use
based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation with respect to use of the
information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written
permission of Rockwell Automation is prohibited.
Throughout this manual, we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.
ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices or
circumstances that can lead to personal injury or death,
property damage, or economic loss.
Important: Identifies information that is especially important for successful application
and understanding of the product.
