SAFETY SYMBOLS
The following symbols are used in this document to alert the reader to specific situations:
External wiring, unless specified as an optional connection in the manufacturer’s product line, is
not to be connected inside the Quantum™ LX cabinet. Devices such as relays, switches, transducers
and controls and any external wiring must not be installed inside the micro panel. All wiring must
be in accordance with Johnson Controls’ published specifications and must be performed only by
a qualified electrician. Johnson Controls will NOT be responsible for damage/problems resulting
from improper connections to the controls or application of improper control signals. Failure to
follow this warning will void the manufacturer’s warranty and cause serious damage to property or
personal injury.

TEMPERATURE
To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius
(°C), subtract 32° and multiply by 5/9 or 0.5556.
Example: (45.0°F - 32°) x 0.5556 = 27.2°C
To convert a temperature range (i.e., a range of 10°F)
from Fahrenheit to Celsius, multiply by 5/9 or 0.5556.
Example: 10.0°F range x 0.5556 = 5.6 °C range
