The controller allows the system to be configured in accordance with the local situation at the place of use and with the requirements of the user.
Installing the controller 3 Installing the controller DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to explosions or fire. Never use the controller in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Install the controller on a non-flammable subsurface. DANGER Risk of fatal electric shock when working on the opened controller. Make sure that the controller is disconnected from the mains voltage before removing the terminal cover.
Connecting the controller Fastening the controller If you wish to lead cables and lines through the back of the controller, you need to do this before you fasten it. ATTENTION Risk of damage to the controller housing due to screws tightened too firmly.
Connecting the controller 4 Connecting the controller DANGER Risk of fatal electric shock when working on the opened controller. Make sure that the controller is disconnected from the mains voltage before removing the terminal cover. Make sure that the power supply has been secured to prevent it from being switched on again.
