The ground connection (earth protection
conductor) from the mains is located on the
AC-terminal block (Illustration 1). The circuit
is functional only if the cabinet is connected
to earth. A M4 earth screw is fitted in the
bottom of the cabinet. Connect the cabinet
earth terminal to earth (Illustration 2).
