Safety Precautions

Connecting computer components whose demanded power is greater than power of the controller, can cause damage (burn) of controller.

The controller should work in internal conditions that do not cause contact with water and direc sunlight.

During operation, the controller should be located in a designated housing.

An electrostatic discharge occurs when two object touch each other, for example, an electric charge that occurs when user touch metal door handle after walking on a carpet. Discharging electrostatic charges from fingers or other electrostatic conductors can damage electronic components. To avoid damaging the controller or devices connected to it, abstain from touching contacts, wires and electronic circuits. The user's contact with electronic components should be kept to a minimum.

The manufacturer of the product is not responsible for damage or insults caused in effect of disobey the safety instructions and informations contained in these user manual.

- Keep the product and the packaging out of range of children and animals. The package includes a foil that child could choke while playing.

- It is forbidden to apply the mechanical load to the product - strong shocks, impacts, dropping or crushing may cause its damage.

- The product operation in adverse conditions is not allowed. Adverse conditions are primarily: exposure to direct sunlight, high or very low ambient temperatures, strong vibrations, high humidity, surrounds of gases, dusts or flammable and aggressive liquids.
