1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Precautions, Care & Mainte-
nance
WARNING:
Read and save
these instructions!
Safety may be jeopardized if the equipment is used
in a manner not specified by the manufacturer. Care-
fully read and keep the following instructions for fu-
ture reference.
•Although fuses at the input and outputs of the
controller protect its circuits in case of an over-
load or overvoltage, we recommend installing
an additional protection device on the controller's
supply circuit.
•The room temperature where the controller is
located must always remain between 32 °F and
104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). For Indoor use only !
•To avoid exposing the controller to harmful gases
or excessive humidity, it is preferable to install
it in a corridor.
•Do not spray water on the controller!In order to
clean the control, wipe it with a damp cloth.

once a year for moisture. Proper care will ex-
tend the life of the control.
