Installation Requirements:

  • Mount on DIN rail TS 35
  • AC input wiring: L, N, PE — wire size minimum 2.5 mm² (for 10 A output capability)
  • DC output wiring: +V, -V — wire size minimum 4 mm² (for 10 A)
  • DC OK relay: wire to PLC digital input for fault monitoring
  • Maintain minimum 15 mm clearance on all sides for ventilation (higher power = more heat)
