1. INTRODUCTION
The Alpha2 Series Controllers provides supervisory control for use in
the home, office, factory, or wherever you need it. The Alpha2 Series
Controllers offers flexible I/O control for varied applications including:
• Automation of lights, air-conditioning, or watering systems
• The opening and shutting of gates
• Easy security systems
• Domestic animal and pet food distribution systems
• Control of stockyards and greenhouses
However, the Alpha2 Series Controllers is not designed to be used in
the following applications:
• Applications where high reliabilities such as nuclear power control,
railway facilities, airline facilities, vehicles, combustion equipment
and medical equipment are required.
• Applications in life critical situations

1.2 CAUTION
CAUTION:
Persons trained in the local and national electrical
standards must perform all tasks associated with wiring the Alpha2
Series Controller.
• Disconnect all terminals from power supply before removing the
cover.
• Turn off the power before performing any wiring operations.
• Input and output cables should not be run through the same
multicore cable or share the same wire.
• Input and output cable length must be less than 30m (98' 5").
• The wire should be used a single cable, used a crimp terminal, or
carefully twist stranded wires together. Do not connect a soldered
wire end to the Alpha2 Series Controller.
• To avoid damaging the wire, tighten to a torque of 0.5 - 0.6 N•m.
• Do not install in areas with: excessive or conductive dust, corrosive
or flammable gas, moisture or rain, excessive heat, regular impact
shocks or excessive vibration.
• The connectors must be covered to prevent contact with "live" wires.
• The Alpha2 Series Controller must be installed in distribution box or
a control cabinet.
• Leave a minimum of 10mm of space for ventilation between the top and
bottom edges of the Alpha2 Series Controller and the enclosure walls.

3 INSTALLATION
n MOUNTING NOTES
The Alpha2 Series' safe design means the user can install it almost
anywhere but please take the following points into consideration.
• Do not install in areas with excessive or conductive dust, corrosive
or flammable gas, moisture or rain, excessive heat, regular impact
shocks or excessive vibration. Do not place in water or let water leak
onto the controller.
• Do not allow debris to fall inside the unit during installation.
• Keep as far as possible from high-voltage cables and power
equipment.
• The Alpha2 Series Controller must be installed in a distribution box
or a control cabinet.
