Installation
1.
To prevent the unit from overheating, always allow sufficient
clearance around the unit for proper ventilation: 5 mm left and right,
40 mm above, and 20 mm below. You should also keep a 10 to 15 cm
clearance from adjacent devices that act as a heat source.
2.
The appropriate mounting orientation is vertical, with input terminals
on the bottom and output on the top of the DRP-240. Other mounting
orientations, such as upside down, horizontal, or table-top, are not
allowed.
3.
Use copper wire only; the recommended wiring is shown below.

Note:
When 5 or more wires are connected to the unit, the current carried
by each wire could be 20% less than the current listed above.
Make sure that all strands of each wire are properly inserted into the
terminal connection, and that the screw terminals are securely fixed
to prevent poor contact. If the power supply has multiple output
terminals, make sure each contact is connected to wires to prevent
stress on a single contact from too much current.
4.
Use wire that can withstand temperatures of at least 80°C, such as
UL1007.
5.
Suggested fuses and the maximum number of the PSUs that can be
connected to a circuit breaker at 230 V are shown as below:

The recommended wire strapping length is 5 mm (0.197 inch).
