# Warnings
WARNING
Alternating current voltage of 110 - 220 V is potentially lethal!
All works on assembly and installation should be performed only with a disconnected power supply!
The installation and assembly of electrical equipment must be carried out by electrically qualified persons.
The appearance of the product may differ from the images presented on the website or in this manual. The discrepancy between the appearance and packaging of the goods with a picture and description on the website or this manual is not an indication of poor quality goods. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the design and packaging of the product without prior notice.
# Safety Instructions
Note
The installation and assembly of device must be carried out by electrician in accordance with the applicable regulations.
This device must be mounted on a DIN rail in an electrical distribution enclosure accordingly with this manual to ensure protection against contact, water and dust.
This device must not be used as part of safety-critical systems.
Edge processing scripting should be used as a convenience feature for basic non-realtime automation and not for life-sustaining or safety-critical use cases. Normal operation depend on working internet, Wi-Fi, and Enapter Cloud. Enapter is not responsible for any harms or losses incurred as a result of any failed automation.
