5.1 Installation
The switch actuator and meter is installed optionally in a flush-type box
or in a surface box.
Installation must only be performed in industrially available switchbox-
es (mounting boxes) according to DIN 49073-1 or surface boxes accord-
ing to DIN 60670-1 (e. g. Abox 025 or Abox 040).
Devices with electronic power supply units (e. g. TV sets or high voltage
LED lamps) do not represent ohmic loads. They can generate inrush
currents of up to 100 A. The switching of such consumers leads to a
premature wear of the actuator. In such cases, the use of inrush current
limiters at the switching outputs is recommended.
The circuit the device and the load are connected to must be protected
with a circuit breaker according to EN60898-1 (triggering characteristic
B or C, max. 16 A nominal current, min. 6 kA breaking capacity, ener-
gy limiting class 3). Installation guidelines according to VDE 0100 resp.
HD384 or IEC 60364 must be observed. The circuit breaker must be
easily accessible to the user, and must be identified as disconnect device
for the unit.
