4. Installation Installation and operating instructions, OTM_C 4.3 Mounting positions The recommended mounting positions for motorized change-over switches are horizontal, wall mounted or table mounted. Figure 4.16 Mounting positions Do not install the motorized change-over switches in any other position than those described above.
Installation and operating instructions, OTM_C 5. Connecting 5. Connecting Only an authorised electrician may perform the electrical installation and maintenance of motorized change-over switches. Do not attempt any installation or maintenance actions when a motorized change-over switch is connected to the electrical mains. Before starting work, make sure that the change-over switch is de-energised.
6. Operating Installation and operating instructions, OTM_C 6. Operating Never open any covers on the product. There may be dangerous external control voltages inside the motorized change-over switch even if the voltage is turned off. Never handle control cables when the voltage of the motorized change-over switch or external control circuits are connected.
Installation and operating instructions, OTM_C 6. Operating Turn the Motor/Manual selection switch to the Motor (M) position, see Figure 6.2. Figure 6.2 Motor/Manual selection switch in the Motor (M) position Operate the motorized change-over switch with the push-buttons or selector switch via impulse control or continuous control.
6. Operating Installation and operating instructions, OTM_C 6.1.2 Continuous control When using continuous control, the control command is supplied to the switch continuously. When you press the control button, the change-over switch is driven to the corresponding position (I, 0, II). Operation of position 0 will over-run control of the other positions;...
Installation and operating instructions, OTM_C 6. Operating 6.2 Manual operation by using the handle You can operate the motorized change-over switch manually by using the handle that is included in the delivery. To operate the motorized change-over switch manually: Turn the Motor/Manual selector to the Manual (Man.) position, see Figure 6.5. The motor operator is switched off and electrical operation is prevented.
6. Operating Installation and operating instructions, OTM_C 6.3 Locking You can lock the motorized change-over switch to a specific position. 6.3.1 Locking the electrical operation To disable electrical operation, lock the locking latch with a padlock. After the locking latch has been locked, the change-over switch cannot be operated electrically.
