CAUTION
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY MAY BE EXPOSED
Electrical circuitry on the I/O base may be exposed when an adapter is not mounted. Be
sure that the I/O base is not under power whenever it does not have a Momentum adapter
mounted on it.
To be sure that power is not present, do not insert the wiring connectors to the I/O base until
after the adapter has been mounted. When more than one connector is on the I/O base,
remove all connectors to prevent the unit from receiving power from an unexpected source.
Failure to observe this precaution can result in injury or equipment damage and will
void the product warranty.
