INSTALLATION - Cable Termination

Ideal cable size 1.5mm

2

Maximum cable size is

2.5mm2

There are 3 connections that need to be made on
the bottom of the CATCH Relay, each connection
can be made from one of two connection points.

For example: The

Active IN

connection point is

made from one of the left two connectors. You
can choose either one, as they are bussed
together inside the device.

Example:

Wiring for a basic installation. As you can see it
does not matter which of the two terminals you
choose for each connection.
