Notes, Cautions and Warnings
We use note, caution and warning symbols throughout this book to draw
your attention to important operational and safety information.
A bold text “NOTE” marks a short message in the margin to alert you to
an important detail.
A bold text “CAUTION” safety alert appears with information that is
important for protecting your equipment and performance. Be especially
careful to read and follow all cautions that apply to your application.
A bold text “WARNING” safety alert appears with information that is
important for protecting you, others and equipment from damage. Pay
very close attention to all warnings that apply to your application.
The ç symbol (an exclamation point in a triangle) precedes a general
CAUTION or WARNING statement.
The Ó symbol (a lightning bolt in a triangle) precedes an electric shock
hazard CAUTION or WARNING safety statement.
Technical Assistance
If you encounter a problem with your Watlow controller, review all of your

selections are consistent with your applications.
If the problem persists after checking all the steps, you can get technical
assistance by calling Watlow Controls at (507) 454-5300, between 7 a.m.
and 5 p.m. CST, and asking for an applications engineer. When you call
have the following information on hand: the controller’s model number
(the 12-digit number is printed on the top of the stickers on each side of
the controller’s case and on the right-hand or top circuit board); your
user’s manual; all configuration information; and the Diagnostics Menu
