Installation 

 

Risk of electric shock and equipment damage!

 Ensure you have read the 

Safety Information

 in

 

section  1

  before  attempting  installation.  The  EMS-01  can  be  either  surface  mounted  with  the 

supplied pattress, or flush mounted (back-box not supplied).

Unit Installation 

3.1.1

 

Mounting 

Mount the unit as follows: 

1.

 

Ensure the unit has been properly removed 
from its packaging. 

2.

 

Securely mount the supplied 

pattress box

 

or an appropriate 

flush mount alternative

 

in a suitable location, and make the cable 
entries as required. 

3.

 

Bring the 

cables

 through the pattress box or 

flush mount alternative to the unit 

before

 

starting to make final connections. 

4.

 

Securely house the unit in the pattress box 
or flush mount alternative. 

 

3.1.2

 

Power Connections 

 

A competent person must power the EMS-01 via an appropriate mains supply at a nominal 

230V 

50-60Hz

,  from  a 

spur

  with  a  minimum  capacity  of 

8  Amps

.  This  supports  switching  power  to 

external loads through the 

8 Amp Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) relay

 

 

 

Figure 5:

 EMS-01 Rear Panel Showing Electrical Power Connections 

 

Connect power to the EMS as follows: 

1.

 

Route the 

power cable

 from the 

unswitched fused spur

 into the unit 

mount, using suitable containment/cable 
protection. 

2.

 

Connect the 

power cable

 (i.e. Live, Neutral 

and Earth) to the unit.
