Installation Instructions
 
 
Fitting the cable
Wiring
Fit the cables for the power supply of the Control Panel, using the included 
material for assembling the connectors. 
Cable Cross Sections
Note cable cross sections, 
avoid voltage drop! 
For the connection of the power supply, wiring with a cable-cross-section 
of 1.5 mm
2
must be used.
With bigger distances between voltage source and Control Panel, you take 
the voltage drop as a function of the cable-cross-section as well as voltage 
fluctuations of your distribution voltage into account, so that is secured that 
the voltage doesn't fall under 22 V at the power supply. 
Insert Fuse
The power supply must be protected with maximum 16 A.

2. Screw together the cable ends in the 5-pole plug connector in
accordance with wiring diagram.
Applying the strain relief
 
 
 
 
 
Thread the lacing cord into that 
lower part of the stain relief housing.
Putting in the plug 
connector 
 
 
 
Put the plug connector into that 
lower part of the stain relief housing. 
Tighten the lacing cord and pinch off
