DANGER

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. WILL CAUSE SEVERE 

INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT OPEN SHUTTER IF THE 

EQUIPMENT IS ENERGIZED.

 WARNING

(1) ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL PERSONNEL 

SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO WORK ON THE 

EQUIPMENT. 

 

(2) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR PERFORM 

MAINTENANCE ON THE EQUIPMENT WHILE 

ENERGIZED. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT NO VOLTAGE  

IS PRESENT BEFORE PROCEEDING. 

 

(3) ALWAYS DE-ENERGIZE PRIMARY AND 

SECONDARY CIRCUITS BEFORE REMOVING  

CIRCUIT BREAKER. 

 

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR ALL 

PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THIS INSTRUCTION 

LEAFLET COULD RESULT IN DEATH, BODILY INJURY,  

OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

 CAUTION

SPECIFIC OPERATING PROCEDURES MUST BE 

DEVELOPED BY THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY, BECAUSE 

OF THE UNIQUE APPLICATION AND VAST VARIETY 

OF SYSTEM AND USER REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE 

TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC PROCEDURES COULD LEAD 

TO IMPROPER USE OR OTHER MORE SERIOUS 

CONSEQUENCES.
