Wiring Instructions

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Internal circuits operate at hazardous voltage levels. Disconnect power supply before installation, maintenance, or wiring.

  1. Ensure the supply voltage is AC 220 V and properly grounded. Confirm that the power supply matches AC 220 V before connection.
  2. Connect input signals to the designated terminals according to wiring requirements.
  3. Connect RS485 communication lines if remote monitoring is required.
  4. Verify relay wiring before energizing the system.
  5. Ensure correct polarity and terminal assignment to prevent damage.
  6. Do not insert or remove wiring while the device is powered.
  7. Use only properly rated cables and connectors.
  8. If using the 24 V feed output, ensure the connected load does not exceed the rated capacity.
