1.3 Warnings and safety
Factory settings
The controller is delivered pre-programmed from the factory with a set of default settings. These settings are based on typical values
and may not be correct for your system. You must therefore check all parameters before using the controller.
Data security
To minimise the risk of data security breaches:
• As far as possible, avoid exposing controllers and controller networks to public networks and the Internet.
• Use additional security layers like a VPN for remote access, and install firewall mechanisms.
• Restrict access to authorised persons.
