Note before connecting 
 
 
Warning 
Only connect the device to 24 V DC power supply systems which meet the requirements of a 
safe extra-low voltage (SELV); in addition, a protective conductor must be connected. The 
conductors must withstand the short-circuit current of the 24 V DC power source, so that a 
short-circuit will not damage the cable. Only connect cables with a minimum cross-section of 
1.3 mm
2
 (AWG16) and a maximum cross-section of 3.3 mm
2
 (AWG12). 
 
 
Notice 
The 24V DC power source must be adapted to the input data of the device (see 
specifications).
