4.2 Installation of controller
Baelz recommends buying the positioner ready installed.
4.3 Connection to electrical supply
Risk of electric shock!
Use a safe electricity supply. Under no circumstances should dangerous voltage reach the equipment!
Safety fuses and cut-off switches must be available on site to protect from short circuiting and for activation of the
positioner. The required amperage can be derived from the current consumption of the electric actuator (see name
plate).
