   WARNING  
•   The recorder is not fitted with a switch therefore a 
disconnecting device such as a switch or circuit 
breaker conforming to local safety standards must 
be fitted to the final installation. It must be fitted 
in close proximity to the recorder, within easy 
reach of the Operator and marked clearly as the 
disconnection device for the recorder. A fuse must 
be fitted in accordance with Figure 4.
•  Remove all power from supply, relay and any 
powered control circuits and high common mode 
voltages before accessing or making any 
connections.
•  Use cable appropriate for the load currents: 3-core 
cable rated 3 A and 90 °C (194 °F) minimum, that 
conform to either IEC 60227 or IEC 60245. The 
terminals accept cables from 0.8 to 2.5 mm2  
(18 to 14 AWG).
•  The recorder conforms to Installation Category II 
of IEC 61010.
•  All connections to secondary circuits must have  
basic insulation.
•  After installation, there must be no access to live 
parts, for example, terminals.
•  Terminals for external circuits are for use only with 
equipment with no accessible live parts.
•  If the recorder is used in a manner not specified by 
the Company, the protection provided by the 
equipment may be impaired.
•  All equipment connected to the recorder's 
terminals must comply with local safety standards 
(IEC 60950, EN601010-1).
      IMPORTANT (NOTE)   
•   Always route signal leads and power cables 
separately, preferably in earthed (grounded) metal 
conduit.
•  Use screened cable for signal inputs and relay 
connections.
•  Replacement of the internal battery (type Varta 
CR2025 3V lithium cell) must be carried out by an 
approved technician only.
