3.2.3.  Assembling of the PCD 8 s-3-690-1000-100/-200 

Prepare the test setup conform to the chosen standard and put both decoupling network units, etc. to the place 
where the CDN shall be used for testing. 
 

Mounting of the common earth rails 

 
Place the two surge decoupling networks in parallel to each other. Looking from the top, make sure that the N-L1 
network is below the L2-L3 network. 
 

 

NOTE 

To enable proper synchronization assure that L1 being placed next to L2!

 

 
Use the delivered isolated Allen key to screw the copper earth rails on to both ends of the decoupling networks (2 
x 2 screws each side per network). 
 

 

NOTE  Make sure that the copper rail is properly mounted and tightened. Use only the delivered 

screws. 

 
 

 

 
 
After mounting the earth rails it should look like this:
