2. Safety Precautions
- Verify Supply Voltage: Always check that the supply voltage is correct before connecting the instrument to power.
- Environmental Conditions: Do not expose the controller to water or excessive moisture. Use the device only within its specified operating limits, avoiding sudden temperature changes with high atmospheric humidity to prevent condensation.
- Maintenance Disconnection: Disconnect all electrical connections before performing any type of maintenance on the unit.
- Probe Placement: Ensure the temperature probe is installed in a location inaccessible to end-users.
- Do Not Open: The instrument casing must not be opened by unauthorized personnel.
- Relay Current Limits: Consider the maximum current that can be applied to each relay as specified in the Technical Data section.
- Wiring Separation: Ensure that wires for probes, loads, and the power supply are separated and sufficiently far from each other, avoiding crossing or intertwining.
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Mounting
