1. Connect the device to the system via the existing protective ground connection ⑧ by
observing the torques.
–
Use a cable with a diameter of 1 … 4 mm
2
.
2. Insert the connecting cable through the cable gland ③.
3. Connect the wires to the connection terminals ④ "+" and "-", observing the polarity and the
torques.
– Use wires with a diameter of 0.5 ... 2.5 mm
2
.
– If you use stranded wire used, you need a ferrule.
4. Apply the shield to the screw of the ground terminal ⑨.
The screw of the ground terminal is electrically connected to the external protective
conductor connection.
