Future option module types may have additional maximum limits, within the "4 total" option per EC-BOS-9 limit.

Safety Precautions

• Work in a static-free area
Discharge any static electricity you may have accumulated by touching a known, securely grounded object.
•
Disconnect power before installation or servicing to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
•
Use copper conductors only. Make all connections in accordance with local, national, and regional electrical codes.
•
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, install in a controlled environment relatively free of contaminants.
• This device is only intended for use as a monitoring and control device. To prevent data loss or equipment damage, do not use it for any
other purpose.
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for

this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

General Precautions

• Remove all power to the EC-BOS-9 before attaching (plugging in) or detaching (unplugging) any option module, to prevent possible
equipment damage.
Removal of the EC-BOS-9 cover is not required. No configurable or user-serviceable items (such as jumpers or a battery) require cover
•
removal—all items are accessible as switches and connectors on the unit's top, bottom, and side, or behind the unit's front access door
or microSD card shutter.

Inserting or Removing the MicroSD Card

The microSD card is used to store backups. Backups, once generated, are encrypted with a system passphrase that is stored in the controller. You must
re-enter this same passphrase to restore a backup from the microSD card, using a serial connection to the unit's Debug port.
Prerequisites: You are working in a static-free area and have discharged any static from your body. Otherwise, equipment damage is likely to occur.
1. If the unit is currently running, shut it down and unmount it from any DIN rail or screw-tab mounting. For the shutdown procedure refer to
Shutdown. Accessing the card uses the space behind the mounting base.

Typically, the microSD card never needs removal. However, in the case where a controller has been electrically damaged or found to be faulty,
you can remove the card and install it in another like unit, so it can become a functional replacement.
2. To open the plastic shutter, carefully slide it open. The shutter should remain captive in the base, revealing the microSD card socket.
3. To insert the microSD card, slide it into card carrier, label side up, until the spring catch engages. If properly inserted, the card is behind the
shutter track.
