General connection information

Note the following in order to operate the device safely and according to regulation:

Notice

Power supply

The device must only be connected to 24 V DC power supply systems or 24 V DC power supplies which meet the requirements of a safe extra-low voltage (SELV).

Use the supplied connector to connect it to the supply voltage.

Notice

Connecting the protective conductor

A protective conductor must be connected to the device. The conductors must withstand the short-circuit current of the 24 V DC power source, so that a short-circuit will not damage the cable. You may use cables with a cross section of 5 mm2.
