Before unpacking, the part number of the POWERLOCK BOX should be checked against your order. Also check that the current rating label on the unit matches your requirements. The carton should contain the following: 1x POWERLOCK BOX 1x 6 mm Allen wrench 1x 2-pole cable connector for remote sensing 1x Operating / Maintenance guide 3 Mounting at the control cabinet/ building 3.1 Mechanical mounting POWERLOCK BOXES are designed for standard 19" rack systems or to dedicated panel mounts within buildings or remote cabinets. It is recommended that M6 screws / bolts and flat washers are used, and tightened to a torque of 2.94 Nm min. to 3.43 Nm max. The screws / bolts should be tightened evenly. Adequate support during assembly must be provided. If the 19" rack does not support all IEC 60297 requirements, the use of additional mounting plates may apply. 3.2 Power installation Caution: Electrical installations should only be carried out by a suitably qualified electrical engineer. It is the responsibility of the installer and user to ensure that the safe practices are adopted. Power installation: M12 threaded posts on the rear of the unit are for connecting power cables fitted with cable lugs. Each position is marked on the back of the box. E (Ground), N, L1, L2 & L3. The threaded posts have a spring washer and nut that should be tightened to a torque of 27.5 Nm min. to 31.4 Nm max. It is recommended that insulated spanners are used when making these connections. 3.3 Connector for remote sensing A 2-pole Trident connector is at the back of the POWERLOCK BOX to enable remote sensing. The 2 pole connector mounted on the rear is connected to a micro-switch inside the unit: If all connectors are in place and the unit is locked, the micro switch is locked A complete assembly instructions for this connector are shown at the end of this document. Micro switch with POWERLOCK BOX - open Micro switch with POWERLOCK BOX - closed 4 Installation and usage 4.1 Warnings This box should only be operated by suitably qualified persons. Only original POWERLOCK connectors should be used with this unit. The use of non- approved connectors may cause damage to the box and will invalidate any warranty. Ensure that the current rating of the cables and connectors being used are suitable for the current rating of the POWERLOCK BOX and connected supply. Do not connect / disconnect under load! 4.2 Connection with cable connectors The necessary mating connectors have to be ordered separately and are not part of the delivery. Recommended cross-sections are printed on the rear of the box: 400 - 120 mm² and 660 A 240 mm². 1. Use the Allen wrench to open the cover (version with safety cover). 2. The POWERLOCK connectors are plugged sequentially in a row. Starting on the left with the Ground/Earth connection (Green) going to the right with N, L1, L2, L3. 3. Insert the Ground (Green) connector, aligning the "PUSH" arrow on the label of the con- nector in a 12 o´clock position. Fully insert the connector until it bottoms in the cavity and turn through 45 degrees clockwise until the connector locks with an audible `click'. 4. Repeat the above process for the Neutral connector and the rest of the connectors. If at any time a connectors does not rotate fully, check if the previous connector is fully turned. 5. The lock is located to the right of the L3 connector on the front panel. The needed square drive key is provided. 6. Remove the key. All connectors are now locked in place and cannot be removed until the box is unlocked. 7. To remove the connectors, ensure that the power is turned off and reverse the above procedure. 5 Technical data The POWERLOCK BOX is CE labeled and fullfills all relevant requirements.
