not specified by PROFIRE is not recommended. Failure to observe the following warnings may result in death,
electrocution, property damage, product damage, government fines, or malfunction of the product itself.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
➢ Do not disconnect while circuit is live unless area is known to be non-hazardous or equivalent.
➢ Substitution of components may impair suitability for specified zones.
➢ Do not service unless the area is known to be non-hazardous.
➢ Do not open when energized.
➢ Installation and use must conform to the directions in this guide.
➢ System must be properly connected to earth-ground for effective operation of flame detection circuitry.
Installation Warnings
➢ Ensure that the PF3100 enclosures are securely closed each time after opening the enclosure. This protects
the internal circuitry from moisture damage and other environmental concerns. Moisture damage is not
covered by the product warranty.
➢ Do not connect wires or handle the device when powered.
➢ Properly fuse the board according to local codes.
➢ Do not disassemble or modify the board in any way. The board is not field repairable and must be sent back

➢ IO Expansion inputs must never be configured in a parallel fashion (e.g. – connecting like terminals of multiple
boards).
Other Warnings
➢ Installation of the IO Expansion Card should be performed according to the local electrical code by a capable
electrician using de-energized wire. Live modifications should NOT be performed.
➢ The enclosure should not be opened while energized. If access is required and the enclosure is opened, ensure
it is de-energized first.
➢ 4-20mA/dry outputs can only be used for non-safety critical functions.
➢ Equipment must be housed inside a fire-proof enclosure that is suitable for the environment and can only be
accessed with the use of a tool.
➢ Evaluation for the IO Expansion Card as part of the system assembly is required after final installation.
➢ Equipment MUST be installed with a PF3100 controller.
➢ IO expansion inputs can only be used in s safety critical application as per the guidelines outlined in the PF3100
Safety Manual.
➢ IO expansion inputs that are utilizing the signal-out feature (e.g. – floating output) CANNOT be used in safety
