WARNING! DO NOT operate the controller in temperatures less than -20°C (-4°F) or greater than
+50°C (+122°F) or the controller may fail.
WARNING! DO NOT disconnect the driveline from the controller or the pump will stop. If this
happens, reconnect the driveline to the controller as soon as possible to restart the pump.

The alarm adapter silences the [No Power] alarm and should only be attached to a controller
that has failed or malfunctioned and is no longer connected to a pump.
