The information provided in this Quick Start guide does not replace the User Manual which can be ordered or
downloaded by visiting www.ab.com. The Quick Start guide assumes the installer is a qualified person with
previous experience and basic understanding of electrical terminology, configuration procedures, required
equipment, and safety precautions.
For safety of maintenance personnel as well as others who might be exposed to electrical hazards associated with
maintenance activities, follow all local safety related work practices (for example, the NFPA 70E, Part II in the
United States). Maintenance personnel must be trained in the safety practices, procedures, and requirements that
pertain to their respective job assignments.
For detailed SMC Flex information including set-up, programming, precautions, and application considerations,
refer to the following documentation.
