MORNINGSTAR 021363 Readyrail System Dry Contact Block
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
-
WARNING: Shock Hazard
The Morningstar Ready Block must be installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the electrical regulations of the location of installation. -
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Disconnect all power sources to the host and all other connected devices before working with ReadyRelay wiring. Do not install or remove a ReadyRelay while the host device is powered ON. -
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
The relay circuit has no overcurrent protection. A fuse no larger than six (6) Amps must be installed – in either leg – to protect the circuit. Since the internal relay circuitry has no overcurrent protection, the installer must ensure that the circuit is fused. ReadyRelay failures that result from lack of overcurrent protection are not covered by the Morningstar warranty. -
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Power surges with in-rush current greater than 10 Amps can damage the relay. -
CAUTION: This guide must be used with the full product manual that includes important information. Carefully read the ReadyRelay product manual for all specifications, safety, regulatory and warranty information, and for all required instructions on installation procedures, configuration, and operation.
The ReadyRelay requires a Morningstar ReadyRailTM-enabled host device, e.g., GenStar controller or ReadyEdge System Monitor and Communication Center to provide a mounting surface, power, and programming capability.
