2.10 Electrical connections
See diagram of a standard installation. (§2.2 and 2.3, page 7)
 Electrical connections must comply with I.E.E. Regulations.
 No tension, even momentary between NEUTRAL conductor
and GROUNDED CONDUCTOR
In case of installation without Neutral (or neutral of bad
quality), use an isolation transformer in order to create
an artificial neutral. For that, connect one outlet socket to the
ground.
 All heaters must be GROUNDED.
 Control : XFR heaters are controlled by VisioLon Ind-T programmable controller.
Refer to the technical instructions.
 Electric cables and the electrical junction box must not be positioned in the heated area
around a heater.(see §2.7 page 16)
 Types of connection cable

Always place the
plastic cover back on the top of the screw head.
The RP3 or RP32 box must be located no more than
3 meters away from the ignition
