The instructions must be read carefully by the installer that is set to commission the panel.
  • Page 7: Connecting Luminaries On Illumination Zones

    You can use a star connection at the zone to reduce the voltage drop. This is recommended to check the currents and the voltage drop when the installation is finish just for verification. Olympia Electronics recommends the following cables: 1. NHXH FE180/E90.
