This product must be installed with an explosion proof breather vent per
agency requirements and the Nationsl Electric Code - Article 501, Section F,
paragraph 3.
Use 18 - 22 AWG shielded twisted pair wire to make all signal and power connections.
Ensure that wiring conforms to all applicable local and national electrical codes and install
unit(s) according to relevant national and local safety codes.

Make sure the power source is
turned off.
Remove the housing cover.
Pull power and signal wire through
the conduit connection and into
the control housing.
Locate TB1 on the control board.
(See
) Terminals are labeled
“+” and “-”. Connect power leads
to the proper terminals.
Do not exceed the maximum loop resistance for the circuit. (See
)
Use the following formula to determine the maximum loop resistance of your circuit:
R (ohms) = (input voltage - 12) ÷ 20.0 mA
