3. Setup and Installation
Important: All installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected at the main circuit breaker before proceeding.
- Power Disconnection: Turn off the main power supply to the circuit where the power supply will be installed. Verify that the power is off using a voltage tester.
- Mounting: Choose a suitable, dry location for mounting the power supply, ensuring adequate ventilation. The device is not waterproof (IP20). Secure the power supply using appropriate fasteners.
- Input Wiring (PRI): Connect the main AC power supply (220-240V AC, 50-60Hz) to the input terminals marked 'PRI' (L and N). Use appropriate wire gauges (0.75-2.50 mm² recommended).
- Connect the Live (L) wire to the 'L' terminal.
- Connect the Neutral (N) wire to the 'N' terminal.
- Output Wiring (SEC): Connect your 12V AC LED lighting fixtures to the output terminals marked 'SEC'. Ensure the total wattage of the connected LED fixtures does not exceed 70W. Use appropriate wire gauges (0.75-2.50 mm² recommended).
- Dimmer Connection (Optional): If using a dimmer, connect it on the primary (input) side of the power supply, following the dimmer manufacturer's instructions. This power supply is designed for phase-cut dimmers.
- Final Check: Double-check all connections for proper polarity and secure fastening. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
- Power Restoration: Restore power to the circuit.
