General Safety Information

WARNING

CAUTION

• Do not use the device if it is damaged.Before you use the device, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Do not operate the device around explosive gas, vapor or dust.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage (as marked on the device) between terminals, or between terminal and external ground.

• Always use the device with the cables provided.

• Observe all markings on the device before connecting to the device.

• Turn off the device and application system power before connecting to the I/O terminals.

• When servicing the device, use only specified replacement parts.

• Do not operate the device with the removable cover removed or loosened.

• Do not connect any cables and terminal block prior to performing self-test process.

• Use only the power adapter supplied by the manufacturer to avoid any unexpected hazards.

• Do not load the output terminals above the specified current limits. Applying excessive voltage or overloading the device will cause irreversible damage to the circuitry.

• Applying excessive voltage or overloading the input terminal will damage the device permanently.

• If the device is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the device may be impaired.
