Safety Warning
In addition to presenting a potential fire hazard, high voltage and high
temperature can damage equipment and cause severe injury or death.
When installing or using this instrument, follow all instructions carefully and
use approved safety controls (high limit, etc.). Only suitably trained
personnel should perform electrical wiring of connections.
Do not locate this instrument where it may be subjected to excessive
shock, vibration, dirt, moisture, oil, or other liquids.
Safe operating temperature range is 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C ).
Never insert or remove a controller from a mainframe with the AC power on.
Hazardous potentials exist on components inside the mainframe and
controller. Always disconnect AC power to the mainframe when servicing!
Because these temperature controls or associated equipment may not
always fail safe, an approved temperature and/or pressure safety control
should be used for safe operation.
