tests and verication prior to shipping to ensure proper and reliable operation
in the eld. Whenever a control failure could lead to personal injury and/or
loss of property, it becomes the responsibility of the user / installer / electrical
system designer to incorporate safety devices ( such as relays, ow switches,
thermal protections, etc…) and/or alarm systems to protect the entire system
against such catastrophic failures. Tampering with the devices or unintended
application of the devices will result in a void of warranty.
