3.7 Connecting the Power SupplyWARNING!
Danger of death by electrical shock!
Live components and components that have become energized due to a malfunction can result in serious injury or death when touched.
→ Installation, commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting and decommissioning must be carried out by qualified electricians
→ The powers supply must be disconnected and locked off before starting any work on the energy guiding chain
→ Electrical protection and grounding must be regularly checked by qualified electricians
→ Connect compressed air hose to the ball valve of the profile
→ Lay the compressed air hose on the cable-guiding plate and attach with cable ties
→ Trim the consumer end of the air hose according to the circumstances and connect it to the consumer
→ Connect the cables correctly to the power supply (the cable junction boxes and screw fixings supplied can be used for this)
→ Lay the cables correctly between the power-supply interface and chain
→ Trim the consumer ends of the cables according to the circumstances and connect it to the consumer
→ Lay the cables correctly between the consumer interface and the chain and secure
Arrange the components nozzle (1), hose clamp (2) and hose (3) as shown in Fig. 14:
CAUTION!
Risk of damage to the hose!
If the hose clamp is mounted too tightly, the hose will be damaged.
→ Tighten the hose clamp only to such an extent that it cannot be moved any longer.
