Duo Installation Guide MAN-DUOIG (Ver. 1.0) Chapter 1: Safety Information In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Duo, it is imperative that you implement the safety procedures included in this installation guide. This information is provided to protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating the Duo and accompanying equipment.
When connecting the Duo to an approved 12 ~ 95VDC (8.5 ~ 67VAC) auxiliary power supply, connect it through a line that is isolated from hazardous live voltages using reinforced or double insulation in accordance with approved safety standards.
Power to the various Duo models is provided by a 0 - 95VDC source. A “smart” control- supply algorithm enables the Duo to operate with only one power supply and there is no need for an auxiliary power supply for the logic.
