Warning !
1. For U modules, a radio licence is not required in most countries, provided the module is
installed using the aerial and equipment configuration described in the Installation Guide.
Check with your local distributor for further information on regulations.
2. For U modules, operation is authorised by the radio frequency regulatory authority in your
country on a non-protection basis. Although all care is taken in the design of these units,
there is no responsibility taken for sources of external interference. The intelligent
communications protocol aims to correct communication errors due to interference and to
retransmit the required output conditions regularly. However some delay in the operation of
outputs may occur during periods of interference. Systems should be designed to be
tolerant of these delays.
3. To avoid the risk of electrocution, the aerial, aerial cable, serial cables and all terminals of
the module should be electrically protected. To provide maximum surge and lightning
protection, the module should be connected to a suitable earth and the aerial, aerial cable,
serial cables and the module should be installed as recommended in the Installation Guide.
4. To avoid accidents during maintenance or adjustment of remotely controlled equipment, all
equipment should be first disconnected from the module during these adjustments.
Equipment should carry clear markings to indicate remote or automatic operation. E.g.
"This equipment is remotely controlled and may start without warning. Isolate at the
switchboard before attempting adjustments."
5. The module is not suitable for use in explosive environments without additional protection.
