1. GENERAL WARNING

1.1 Please read before using this manual

 This manual is part of the product and should be kept near the instrument for easy and quick

reference.

 The instrument shall not be used for purposes different from those described hereunder. It

cannot be used as a safety device.

 Check the application limits before proceeding.

1.2

Safety Precautions

 Check the supply voltage is correct before connecting the instrument.
 Do not expose to water or moisture: use the controller only within the operating limits avoiding

sudden temperature changes with high atmospheric humidity to prevent formation of
condensation

 Warning: disconnect all electrical connections before any kind of maintenance.
 The instrument must not be opened.
 In case of failure or faulty operation send the instrument back to the distributor or to “DIXELL

s.r.l.” (see address) with a detailed description of the fault.

 Consider the maximum current which can be applied to each relay (see Technical Data).
 Ensure that the wires for probes, loads and the power supply are separated and far enough

from each other, without crossing or intertwining.

 Fit the probe where it is not accessible by the end user.
 In case of applications in industrial environments, the use of mains filters (our mod. FT1) in

parallel with inductive loads could be useful.
