2.1. Installing the power supply
IMPORTANT
•
The
ventilation holes
(both sides of the housing) may not be covered. Leave enough free space of the left and right
side.
•
There are 4 fused motor group connection terminals. Each group is able to deliver max. 4Amps @ 18VDC.
Do not exceed the load on each terminal.
•
In case of a broken
group fuse
, the
group LED
will not light up when the power supply is powered on.
•
Always switch off the power supply and disconnect the power cable when installing or making connections.
•
Make use of the
cable management clamps
to neatly align the motor and power cables.
•
Make sure a
power socket
is nearby (max. 0.5m).

Note
The bare metal connections (18VDC) under the power supply's
front cover
are safe to touch when the power is on.
All 230VAC components are shielded from any possible human or pet contact.

There are different options on how-to connect a range of 18VDC PowerView® motors:
1. Individually
2. Daisy-chained
3. Combination individually/daisy-chained
Connecting a PowerView® motor to the power cable is done using a female jack adapter (article 17.0361.0000).
Note
As a general rule of thumb, connect
maximum 4 motors
(1 motor = max. 1Amp power consumption) per terminal block.
