tation systems. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to use device and/or service it and only in accordance to technical data listed in this manual. Do not dismantle/modify/repair any internal component. Device must be installed and can operate only within the allowed environmental conditions.
Loose screws may occasionally result in fire. For screw terminals of relays and of power Warning! supply, tighten screws to tightening torque of 0,5 Nm. A malfunction in the Digital Controller may occasionally make control operations impossible or prevent alarm outputs, resulting in property damage.

air-conditioning devices inside the control cabinet. • Always check the terminal names and polarity and be sure to wire properly. Do not wire the terminals that are not used. • To avoid noise, keep the controller wiring away from power cables that carry high voltages or large currents. Also, do not wire power lines together with or parallel to Digital Controller wiring.
Environmental policy / WEEE Do not dispose electric tools together with household waste material. According to European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
