Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing Checker to reduce the risk of injury or equipment
damage:
Do not use Checker in applications where an incorrect or absent output signal •
could cause human injury.
Checker is intended for indoor use only.•
Do not attempt to adjust Checker’s focus when moving parts and/or equipment are pres-•
ent.
Use a listed power supply with an output rated 24 VDC, at least 250 mA, and marked •
Class2,LimitedPowerSource(LPS).Anyothervoltagecreatesariskofreorshockand
can damage Checker.
Connect the cable shield to earth ground.•
Make sure that no voltage potential exists between the USB ground on the PC and the •
Checker chassis ground.
AnIP67-compliantplugorcablemustbettedtotheUSBconnectorforCheckertomeet•
the IP67 protection standard.
Do not install Checker in locations that expose it to environmental hazards such as •
excessiveheat,humidity,impact,vibration,corrosivesubstances,ammablesubstances,
or static electricity.
To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction, route all cables and wires away from high-•
voltage power sources.
Do not extend I/O and power cables longer than 30 meters.•
Make sure that the mounting screws do not bottom in the mounting holes; using too long •
a mounting screw can damage Checker.
DonotattempttomodifyChecker.Modicationswillvoidthewarranty.•
