INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
4 5
Electrical installation
The power supply must meet the specifications on the product.
The transformer is intended to be used with either a weatherproof
switchbox cable connector or permanently connected to the fixed
wiring in the main system other than by means of a plug and socket.
The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth.
The electric cable is permanently connected and sealed in the transformer
body. If the supply cable is damaged the transformer must not be used.
Do not use the supply cable to lift the transformer as this may cause damage.
WARNING - THIS PRODUCT MUST BE EARTHED
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also know as the Residual
Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA must be installed in the supply circuit.
A means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation
of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to
the regulations of the local electricity authority and this would include the use
of a metal or plastic conduit to protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concerning
the installation of your transformer (i.e. local building regulations).
Always disconnect the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment is being
installed, repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in
any doubt about wiring this product to the main supply.
Warning - This transformer must not be used in ponds.
For external installation only.
