Page 8: Intended Use
Technical Information HC8X Heat Control Intended Use The HC8X is an 8-channel heat control. It serves to regulate single and multi-phase heating circuits. The control unit is an extension of the modular MODIOS I/O system and can be installed in an existing I/O module box system. -
Page 9: Safety Information
This control unit may be connected to the mains only by authorized/qualified personnel. Only a SICK service engineer or similarly trained and authorized person should be per- mitted to service or repair the control unit. The control unit operates with high voltages. Even with the power switched OFF, high voltages can be present inside the control unit. - Page 10 Shows visible damage No longer operates correctly Has been subjected to prolonged storage or operation under unfavorable or inadmissible conditions Has been subjected to inadmissible transport stresses. © SICK AG · All rights reserved E-10 8010043...
