2. All installation and service must be performed by qualified service personnel, as opening or removing covers may
expose dangerous voltage points or other risks.
3. This product is intended to be used with a 3-wire grounding type plug – a plug which has a grounding pin. This is
a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding type plug by modifying the plug or using an adapter.
Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle for the presence of earth
ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the installation must not continue until a qualified electrician
has corrected the problem.
If a 3-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified electrician to determine another
method of grounding the equipment.

—
A UL Listed/CSA Certified power supply with a Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) output for use in North
America.
—
A Certified power supply with a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output less than 240 VA available, for use in
the country of installation.

products installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the voltage potential may cause a hazardous
condition. Consult a qualified electrical consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists and, if
necessary, implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.
