How to use

Secure the hanging distributor at a suitable overhead location using appropriate suspension fittings and anchors rated for the installation load.

Route outgoing cables neatly to workstations or machinery, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain. After wiring, restore supply and verify correct voltages and protective device operation before connecting sensitive equipment.

Use the distributor only in indoor, dry locations and avoid exposure to moisture or direct water spray. Verify that the supply and connected loads comply with the distributor’s rated current capacity and follow local electrical codes for protective devices and earthing. Regularly inspect mounting points, connections and the enclosure for signs of damage or wear and perform maintenance or replacement as needed.
