Safety Precautions
This product is intended for professional incorporation into a complete system by qualified persons. If you install the
product incorrectly, it may present a safety hazard. The product and system may use high voltages and currents,
carry a high level of stored electrical energy, or are used to control mechanical equipment that can cause injury.
You must give close attention to the electrical installation and system design to avoid hazards either in normal
operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance
must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and experience. Read and follow this safety
information and this instruction manual carefully.

The product has been designed and tested to a high standard, and failures are very unlikely. However the level of
integrity offered by the product’s control function – for example stop/start, forward/reverse and maximum speed – is
not sufficient for use in safety-critical applications without additional independent channels of protection. All
applications where malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk assessment, and further
protection provided where needed.
