Wiring

Risk of electric shock
Dangerous touch voltages can lead to electric shock. To avoid electric shock, adhere to the following
points:
• Never connect or disconnect the device cables during a thunderstorm.
• Provide protective earthing for handling the device.
After you have gained access to the push button extension boards, you can wire the push button extension.
The female connectors on the boards are plugged into the corresponding male connectors. You can carry
out the wiring both when the female connector is plugged in and when it is unplugged.
If you want to carry out the wiring in the unplugged state, you must first release the female connector from
the male connector. To do this, follow the steps below as shown in Figure 22:
1. Press the grip plate of the female connector backwards against the board and hold this position (section
A).
2. Use a screwdriver to slide down the release slide on the grip plate and hold this position (section B).
3. Pull the female connector on the grip plate out of the male connector (section C).
ð You can now connect the cables to the unplugged female connector.
