shock
even when its main power is OFF because of the high voltage charge
inside the Control
ler.

Make sure that the power to the Control
ler is turned OFF
before connecting or
disconnecting any cables.
Connecting or disconnecting
any cables with the

cables, disconnection, and/or contact failure. Damaged cables, disconnection,
or a contact failure is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock and/or
improper function of the system.

connecting the plug to fit the outlet in your factory, make sure that it is done
by qualified personnel. When connecting the plug,
be sure to connect the earth
wire of the AC power cable colored green/yellow

terminal of the factory power supply.
The equipment must be grounded properly
at all times to avoid the risk of electric shock.
Always use a power plug and
receptacle
. Never connect the Controller directly to the factory power supply.
