Quick Start Guide Safety Precautions: The unit is designed for indoor use only. Never place unit in a location where excessive heat, moisture, inadequate ventilation, or corrosive materials are present. Never use flammable or corrosive fluids with this unit. Never connect process fluid lines to your facility water supply or to any pressurized liquid source. If your unit is equipped with a positive displacement pump (PD1 or PD2), ensure your application plumbing lines and fittings are rated to withstand a minimum of 115 psi. Before using any fluid or performing maintenance where contact with the fluid is likely refer to the manufacturer’s MSDS for handling precautions. Circuit Protector J1 Serial Communications Connect the proCess oUTLeT to the (Optional) fluid inlet on your application. Connect the proCess Power Inlet INLeT to the fluid outlet on your application.
