The power supply circuit should be equipped with a switch for its disconnection of at least 2 A, 230 V, situated near the appliance. The power supply cable will be H05VV-F or NYM-1×16/3. The section to be used will depend on current local regulations, but should never be less than 1.5 mm .
Cables for wiring the relay contact should have an adequate section depending on the unit to be connected.
The 120 / 230 V~ wiring must be kept clear of any other external element.
Make sure you have connected the batteries before starting-up the unit.
Pursuant to RD 138/2011 IF12 (SP) and standard EN-378-1 (EU), the Alarm’s power supply must come from a different circuit than the one used for the cooling and ventilation system.
