Ensure that the electrical supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process and verify all connections for tightness and proper polarity.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that the voltage ratings match your electrical system requirements
Ensure there is sufficient space on the DIN rail within your distribution board
Confirm that Type 3 protection is appropriate for your specific application needs
Check if your monitoring system is compatible with the auxiliary contact output
