Safety First

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE

INSTALLING OR USING THE XDM4600 SYSTEM

THE XDM4600 MUST BE INSTALLED BY M&S SYSTEMS DEALERS OR INSTALLERS,

AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND ELECTRICAL CODES.

Warning: Always follow these safety instructions.

Retain these instructions for future system reference.

•

Read

ALL

safety and operating instructions before installing the XDM4600KIT.

•

Adhere to all warnings on the XDM4600KIT and in these instructions. Follow all operating and
installation instructions.

•

CAUTION

: These installation and servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To

reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the

operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

•

DO NOT

attempt to service the XDM4600 yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of

important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

•

Locate the system away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat
producing products.

•

Do not

locate the system in the garage, the attic, or on any outside wall. M&S Systems recommends

an environmentally open placement of the Central Controller for good airflow around the unit.

•

Route power supply cords so they will not be walked on or pinched by items placed near them.

•

Do Not

expose the XDM4600 to moisture. Doing so can create fire or shock hazards and impair

the warranty.

•

Do not

place the Zone Keypad (XDM46K) unit in any wall cavity with any other electrical wiring in

the cavity. Avoid all other wiring.
