1.1 installation instructions
Incoming supply – stand-alone ips controllers (no rack): The
incoming power supply should be brought in through the bot-
tom of the panel adjacent to the main terminals. Note that this
is the only electrical connection required at the panel.
The power supply voltage is 100-240 vac / 50-60 Hz as stan-
dard. Please refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the unit
for instructions on connecting power to the ips controller.
Incoming supply – ips system on rack: The incoming power
supply to the ips controller is achieved through a transformer
in the main enclosure of the whole ips system rack. No power
connection is required.
note: All electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code, local codes and regulations.

Ambient air temperature for storage: -20°c to 70°c
(-4°f to 158°f)
1.3 field devices installation
instructions
Prior to using the display to configure the ips controller, make
sure all the field installed devices such as dp sensors, flow
sensors, dp switches are properly installed and wired to the ips
