How to use

Mount the power supply on a standard DIN-rail inside an electrical cabinet or enclosure, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit. Connect the AC mains input to the L and N terminals following local wiring regulations and connect protective earth to the ground terminal. Attach the 12V DC load to the positive and negative output terminals, observing correct polarity. After powering up, verify the output voltage with a multimeter and check that connected devices operate within their rated current draw. If the protection circuit activates, disconnect the load, investigate the cause and reset according to the installer manual.

Usage recommendations

Use the MDR-60-12 in environments within the specified ambient temperature and humidity range, keep ventilation openings unobstructed, and avoid mounting near heat sources. Select wiring and circuit protection appropriate to the load current and local electrical codes. For installations with high inrush currents or long cable runs, verify voltage drop and consider additional filtering or surge protection where required.
