Operating Environment

This controller is intended for use in Die Casting plants for the control of electric resistance heaters in dies.
When installing and using this product observe the following:
  • Avoid direct contact with water.
  • Avoid direct exposure to sunlight on the front of the display panel.
  • Avoid corrosive environments
  • Avoid hazardous areas containing explosive or flammable gasses
  • Avoid vibration and shock
  • Ensure the air temperature in which it operates is not less than 0 degrees Centigrade and not greater than 50 degrees Centigrade.
  • Ensure that the electric power supply to the controller is properly earthed (grounded) to prevent electric shock in the case of malfunction.
  • Ensure that the fuse used in the controller does not exceed 10 amps rating.
