Safety Warnings
WARNING: INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT
BY SUITABLY QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT PERSONEL ONLY.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT ON THE CONNECTION
TERMINALS.
INSTALLATION
•Install this product in accordance with local regulations, codes and instructions.
•All fuses must be 0.5A / 250V Type F with a breaking capacity of 35A or greater.
•All conductors carrying hazardous voltage must have external switching or
disconnect mechanisms fitted that provide at least 3 mm of contact separation in all
poles.
•Signal cables connected to this device must not exceed 30 metres long.
•If signal cables are routed outside the building, install extra surge-protection
devices.
Failure to install or operate the unit in accordance with the
above requirements may impair the electrical safety of the unit.
MAINTENANCE
•Before cleaning, inspection or maintenance, isolate all power sources to the unit.
•There are no user-serviceable parts inside this unit. Never open the case.
•Inspect all external wiring connections at regular intervals. Replace any damaged
wiring and tighten any loose connections.
•To clean the unit, use a dry cloth to wipe the casing.
•Take great care connecting the supply. If you connect power to the wrong terminal
s,
it may destroy the unit.

Intended Use
IntendedUse:TheAPMhasbeenspecicallydesignedfor
engineers requiring an effective way to monitor and display
data. The APM accepts a range of electrical inputs (depend-
ing on the model) and displays the data on its integrated
multi-format display. The APM has been designed for installa-
tion into electrical cabinets or display panels. Output models
includetwoindependentoutputsthatcanbeconguredby
the user to be either digital set-point outputs or 4-20mA moni-
tor outputs.
