Refer to operating instructions 3-349-204-15 for detailed information regarding the data interface. Mechanical Installation / Preparation The R2900 controller is intended for installation to a control panel. The installation location should be vibration-free to the greatest possible extent. Aggressive vapors shorten the service life of the controller.
