Always observe the following:
Thepowercordsforseveraltransformersshouldtherefore
alwaysbepluggedintoacommonpowerdistributionstrip.
Thetransformersmustalwaysbeconnectedtoordiscon-

• Electricalpowerconsumers(examples:feedercon-

• Nevertouchanybaremetalpartsonalayout,before
the entire layout is completely without power, i. e. all
transformers must be disconnected from the household
current.

Transformers must always be connected to or dis-
connected from the household current by plugging or
unplugging the power cord for the distribution strip!
