Special Considerations for Outdoor Use

The controller is suitable for outdoor use with a NEMA 3R rating; however, the following
considerations should be made when installing the controller outdoors:
• The unit MUST be mounted vertically with the wiring end oriented downward, and
the cover must be properly secured (also applies to indoor installations).
• The controller shall be mounted on a surface or back plate no smaller than the
outer dimensions of the controller enclosure.
• NEMA 3R enclosures are capable of withstanding downward-directed rain only.
The controller should be protected from hose-directed or sprayed water as well as
blowing rain. Failure to do so may result in controller failure.
• The controller should NOT be placed in direct sunlight or other locations subject to
extreme temperatures or humidity.
