In the normal mounting position, Installation the device is mounted on the DIN rail from above. Make sure that the Normal Mounting DIN rail bracket is in the correct position above the DIN rail. Position 2. Place a suitable screwdriver on The device can be snapped onto all DIN the tab of the DIN rail bracket.
Connection 5.2.1 Primary side protection To switch on / off the device, a proper Wiring Cables Cross- disconnection device must be installed on the mains connection. This function can be sections performed by the recommended primary- side line protection, either a delayed Fuse For connection use copper wires only, or an MCB, curve C.
Load Output Buffered loads are connected to the DC- UPS on the LOAD output terminals. There are two plus (“ + ”) and two minus (“ – “) terminals available. Use a 3 mm flat-head screwdriver. Figure 5.5 – Battery connection Connection to the Battery must be done according to the following instructions: 1.
