Wiring instructions:

  • Use suitable copper cables that are designed for at least the following working temperatures:
    +60°C for ambient temperatures up to +45°C and
    +75°C for ambient temperatures up to +60°C and
    +90°C for ambient temperatures up to +70°C.

Terminals and wiring 1:

  • Observe the national installation rules and regulations!
  • Insert the wire into the opening (A).
  • Turn the lever (B).
  • To disconnect the cable, proceed in reverse order.
  • Make sure that all single wires of a strand are connected to the terminal!
  • Ferrules are permitted.
  • Do not use the device without PE connection.

Series connection of power supply units:

Series connection (looping from one power supply output to the next) is permitted as long as the average output current flowing through a connection pin does not exceed 25 A. For higher currents please use a separate distribution terminal strip as shown in Fig. Using distribution terminals.
