===System installation and assembly===
Before connecting the system, you must:

*site the sensor and actuators (if not pre-installed), set the sensors and actuators;
*site the module and power supply.

'''Note: The module must be installed near the power supply voltage source.'''

<div class="cautoin">CAUTION!
AC power voltage must be provided to the system input through the circuit breaker assembly. It should be installed close to the power supply.</div>
#'''The power of circuit breaker assembly must comply with the load capacity;'''
#'''Nothing else than the phase conductors can be connected to the module, the neutral wire is connected separately.'''
