- Housing height h ≥ 72 mm,
- Connectors may only be operated without load/voltage.
Connection
Note regarding axial connection technology:
Only for stranded wires. The specified conductor cross sections refer to
the geometric cross section of the cable used.
Use of cables with a geometric cross section very different from the
cable's nominal cross section should be checked before use.
The wiring space of the axial screw method is designed for fine strand
cables according to VDE 0295 Class 5. Deviating cable structures (e.g.,
Class 6 cables) should be checked before use.
Connection
Before starting to connect, ensure that the tapered screw is turned back
all the way (chamber is open). The cables must not be twisted. The
wires should be inserted as far as they will go in the contact chamber
(until the insulation touches the contact). Hold wires in position and
use socket wrench to tighten. The used wire end should be cut off
before connecting again. The connection screw may only be retightened
once to prevent the litz wires from breaking. To prevent damage to
the contact, the wire/cable should be mechanically intercepted at an
appropriate distance from the connection point (e.g., by using a plate
cutout). DIN VDE 0100-520:2003-06 contains information on how to do
this correctly. The module cannot be used simultaneously with the HC-
B..-TMB-SD-IP65 and HC-B..-TMS-SD-IP65 protective covers.
