Documentation conventions
Notices throughout this manual inform the reader of practices and
conditions, which will affect physical safety, occupant safety,
equipment performance, and efficiency. Notices appear as
warnings, cautions, and notes.
Warnings
Warnings appear whenever property damage, injury, or loss of
life may occur through the neglect of safe practices and
conditions. You will see warnings in the following format:
Warning! Disconnect all wiring on TB4 of the XLS-REL
(release circuits 1 and 2) during system service. Disabled points
will not prevent activation of the release circuits. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in loss of life, serious injury,
or property damage.
Cautions
Cautions alert you to practices that may damage equipment,
software, or project databases. For example, the manual provides
a caution against corrupting the database.
Caution! Do not use the Accept Actual function in the Signature
Mapping tool. Accepting actual data may corrupt the database by
causing it to see every accepted device as two devices.
Notes
Notes provide instructions to help you save time or avoid wasting
it. For example, a note may inform you that a system does not
support a function so you will not waste time looking for it.
Note: XLS100 systems do not support matrix groups.
