Installing Electrically
The T-Guard requires a 24 V DC power supply (tolerance ± 10 %).
A wrong polarity triggers the fuse.
The power supply should be able to supply a current of maximum 6 A. Typically, the
T-Guard needs 70W.
The following maximum cable lengths have to be met:
Notice
Do not power up the power supply before having attached all other cables
you need!
Power Connector
Only two of the four pins are used for the power supply. The plus pole is marked with
„1+“, the minus pole is marked with „2-“.
