• Compliance: EN 45545-2 (HL1, HL2, HL3), UL 508, UL 2237

How to use

To install the Lapp EPIC H-BE 16 BS, ensure the power supply is disconnected. Select the appropriate termination method—screw, crimp, cage clamp, or Push-In—based on your wiring requirements. Secure the wires firmly into the designated pins, ensuring a tight connection to prevent resistance. Once wired, insert the module into the corresponding EPIC H-BE housing until it clicks into place, ensuring the IP65 seal is maintained to protect against dust and moisture.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing housing is compatible with the H-BE 16 series.
• Confirm that your current and voltage requirements do not exceed the 16A/500V limit.
• Ensure the environment is suitable for an IP65-rated component.

Usage recommendations

Always perform a continuity test after installation to ensure all pins are correctly connected and that the protective earth (PE) is properly grounded to maintain safety standards.
