SAFETY TERMS IN THIS MANUAL
This device has been designed and tested to meet the requirements of EN61010-1
(Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and
Laboratory Use). It is an Installation Category II device intended for operation from
a normal single phase supply. The DIO relay controls are rated to 250 V ac CAT I
and should not be used in applications that exceed that rating.
This Getting
Started Guide contains information, warnings and cautions. Use of this equipment
in a manner not specified herein may impair the protection provided by the
