The redundancy module does not have electrolytic capacitors included. Therefore, the lifetime expectancy and MTBF 
value is extremely high.

**)  MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates reliability of a 
device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product.

Instructions: 
a)  The external circuitry of all terminals must meet the 
safety requirements stipulated by IEC/EN/UL 60950-1: 
SELV. 
b)  Use appropriate copper cables that are designed for 
minimum operating temperatures of:  
60°C for ambient up to 45°C and  
75°C for ambient up to 60°C minimum. 
c)  Follow national installation codes and installation 
regulations! 
d)  Ensure that all strands of a stranded wire enter the 
terminal connection! 
e)  Up to two stranded wires with the same cross section 
are permitted in one connection point. 
f)  Ferrules are allowed, but not required. 
g)  Do not connect or disconnect the wires from the 
terminals below -25°C (-13°F). 
 
To disconnect wire: same procedure vice versa
