Introduction
Using this Manual
This manual provides the information you will need to install and operate

This manual explains the five steps of setting up a Series 988LF con-
troller:
1. Set and document all of the DIP switches, if applicable: Chapter 1.
2. Mount the controller: Chapter 2.
3. Wire and document the controller wiring: Chapter 2.

application examples to help you optimize the safety and perfor-
mance of your application. Use the Table of Contents and Index to

Document Every Step
The Series 988LF provides powerful control features. Carefully document
each step of the setup and any subsequent changes. This will make it
much easier to change, adjust and troubleshoot your application.
Make the configuration documentation available to engineers and techni-
cians, on all shifts, who may need to work with the Series 988LF. We pro-
vide space in this manual to record configurations. You may prefer to
photocopy the blank forms and keep them in a separate binder. However,
you maintain your documentation; be sure to replace all old copies of the
documentation with updated versions whenever the controller configura-
tion is changed.
