SAFETY
FIRST
The electronic controller utilises the same proven surge protection philosophy that is
used in all our products. While this does not guarantee that the unit will not be damaged
in the event of a lightning strike or power surge, it greatly reduces the likelihood of such
damage occurring. The earth return for the surge protection is provided via the mains
power supply earth and/or earth spike located next to the operator.
1.2. Lightning Protection
In order to ensure that the surge protection is eective, it is essential
that the unit is properly earthed.
