Connecting the 24 VDC power supply
To be noted before you connect the device
Note the following in order to operate the device safely and according to regulation:
Power is on
The On/Off switch does not isolate the device from mains voltage.
Always disconnect the power cord to isolate the device from mains voltage.
The device should only be connected to a 24V DC power supply which satisfies the
requirements of safe extra low voltage (SELV). You will also have to connect a protective
earth conductor. The cable cross section must withstand the short-circuit current of the 24
VDC power source so that a short-circuit will not damage the cable.
Connect only cables with a minimum cross-section of 1.3 mm² (AWG16) and a maximum
cross-section of 3.3 mm² (AWG12).
NOTICE
The 24V DC power source must be adapted to the input data of the device (see the
technical specifications in the operating instructions).
NOTICE
If a CompactFlash card is used in the device, make sure that the card is seated correctly
before you connect it.
