5. Installation (Setup)
The GWS9-W smart circuit breaker is designed for DIN rail mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Disconnect Power: Before starting any electrical work, ensure the main power supply to the circuit is completely disconnected at the main breaker or fuse box. Use a voltage tester to confirm no power is present.
- Mount the Device: Snap the GWS9-W onto a standard 35mm DIN rail in your electrical panel.
- Wiring Connections: Refer to the wiring diagram below. Connect the main power supply (Line and Neutral) to the input terminals (marked 'Power' or '1'). Connect the load (the device or circuit you want to control) to the output terminals (marked 'Load' or '2'). Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Verify Wiring: Double-check all connections against the diagram to prevent short circuits or damage.
- Restore Power: Once all connections are verified and secure, restore power to the circuit.
