Regulators have to be installed on an even surface and in a permanently safe position. An improper installation of the energy
supply system has a negative impact on the function, the efficiency and the lifetime of the device. It is therefore important to
observe the specification for the choice and place of installation. The warranty will expire if this is not observed!
Follow the instructions of chapter 7.5 for attaching a Regulator to a supporting structure. See also chapter 4.5.4 for making the
connection to ground.
7.3
Electrical Regulations
WARNING!
The general electrical operating conditions according to VDE 0100 (installation and operation of electrical
equipment up to 1000 V) have to be observed. If necessary apply the local regulations when they go beyond
or differ from these requirements.

Recommended Connection
7.4.1
Connection of Pilot Pins
Shorter pilot pins are used in the power connector (Regulator side) to provide a signal to the Regulator when the load is
connected. Breaking the pilot connection while unplugging will signal to the Regulator to shut down before the main contacts are
disconnected, thus preventing DC arcing in the connectors (protection measure presented in chapter 4.3).
If the pilot signal is shorted in the plug on the Regulator side, the Regulator will not be able to detect when the cable is
disconnected at the load side. No protection against DC contact arcing can be expected in this case, nor would the output voltage
be disabled once the cable disconnected. This could result in an unsafe situation.
In order to fully use the benefits of the pilot pins in case the power output cable is disconnected, we recommend shorting the pilot
pins on the load side. Only this way is it assured that the Regulator switches off when the cable is disconnected, be it on the
Regulator side as well as on the load side. Refer to following examples for more details.
