Safety
Correct use
FAM-RD is used as part of X-AIRCONTROL for radio-based data transmission through ducting. The data is transmitted in two directions between zone module and zone master.
Correct use requires that both the transmitter module and the receiver module are placed in the same duct system, i.e. either in the supply air duct or in the extract air duct. FAM-RD must not be used outdoors.

Residual risks
A power failure will interrupt data transmission. If a  system has to be highly reliable and available, you should take backup measures to prevent problems in case of a power failure.
Also, the radio communication between the various nodes of an X-AIRCONTROL system can be interrupted by interference. This, too, may lead to transmission losses.
If a system has to be highly reliable and available, aired connection is the better option for data transmission.
Incorrect use
Do not use the product for areas of application that are not described in this manual.
Do not use the product:

• outdoors
• in wet areas
• in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres

Dangers and risks
! NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property due to large temperature differences If any electronic components have been kept in an unheated area, condensation may form and damage the electronic components beyond repair.

– Before you start commissioning, make sure that all devices have warmed up to the ambient temperature. Only after about 2 hours will the system have reached ambient temperature.

! NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property due to foreign matter and liquids! Foreign matter and liquids that get into the unit may damage the electronic parts.
– Remove foreign matter, if any.
– If the device emits a smell or smoke, have it checked by the manufacturer.
– If liquid gets into the module, let the module completely dry before commissioning.

NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property!
Over tightening the fixing screws may damage the device.
– Tighten the screws only finger-tight.
