3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the LRS-75-24 power supply.
3.1 Mounting
- Select a suitable mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and free from excessive dust or corrosive substances.
- Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper heat dissipation. Refer to the product dimensions for planning.
- The power supply supports wall mounting. Use appropriate screws (M3, L=3.0 for input/output terminals, M3, L=5 for mounting holes) to secure the unit firmly to a stable surface.
3.2 Wiring Connections
The LRS-75-24 features a terminal block for input and output connections. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized.
- Input (AC): Connect the AC input wires to the designated 'L' (Live), 'N' (Neutral), and 'FG' (Frame Ground) terminals. The power supply accepts universal AC input.
- Output (DC): Connect the load to the '+V' (Positive) and '-V' (Negative) terminals. Observe correct polarity to prevent damage to the connected device.
- Use appropriate wire gauges for the current draw to prevent overheating of cables.
- Double-check all connections before applying power.
