• Never install the electronic unit in other switchgear cabinets, because this may lead to interference effects.(e.g. from contactor controls)! • Cable lengths may only be modified after consultation with „TecTronix Systems“. Use only original cables. Lay the connecting cable in fixed installation apart from other cables (e.g. fix it with nailing clips or lay it in a cable duct). -
