Installation and Mounting

The following section describes how to field install a new Figure 7: Chiller Unit Controller On/Off Switch
LonWorks communication module or replace an existing
module on the MicroTech III chiller unit controller.

CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge hazard. Can cause equipment
damage.
This equipment contains sensitive electronic components that may
be damaged by electrostatic discharge from your hands. Before you
handle a communication module, you need to touch a grounded object,
such as the metal enclosure, in order to discharge the electrostatic
potential from your body.

WARNING

This equipment must be properly grounded. Only personnel
knowledgeable in the operation of the equipment being controlled must
