Wiring the Power Supply Connector

To wire the power supply connector, follow the steps outlined below:

!

Warning
There is a risk of personal injury.
If you wire the connector with voltage applied, you may suffer a shock and

personal injury.
Only wire the connector with power disconnected.

1. Switch off the line voltage at your VAC supply disconnector.

Note
The standby switch of the power supply module does not disconnect the power

supply module from the supply.

2. Are you using a flexible sheathed cable with outer insulation (with 230 VAC)?

If so: Strip the outer insulation over a length of 70 mm. Note that an overall

cable diameter of between 3 mm and 9 mm must be present under the strain

relief after connection.
If not: Wrap the cores with insulating tape so that an overall cable diameter of

between 3 mm and 9 mm will be present under the strain relief after connection.

As an alternative to insulating tape, you can use a shrink-on sleeve.

3. Shorten the two cores which are not needed for connection to protective ground

(PE) by 10 mm.

4. Strip the cores over a length of 7 mm.
5. Slacken the screw in the cover of the power supply connector and open the

connector.
