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.
