'''Overview of the METAFORSA device external connectors:''' In the upper part of the casing (fig. 1) there are 5 connectors with screw clamps. Connectors: (1) – contact points (L1, L2), (3) – contact points (L3, L4) and (5) – contact point (L5) – phase conductor connection for load switching of the channels C1-C4, C5-C8, and C9-C10 respectively. The parallel connection of two contact points is used in connectors (1) and (3) in order to increase the capacity. Connectors: (2) – C1-C4 contact points, (4) – contact points C5-C8 and (5) – C9-C10 – are used for load connection (of actuators – lights, valves, curtain drives, etc.). Internal circuit for output switching is shown in '''fig. 2.'''

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.


CAUTION!
  1. AC power voltage must be provided to the system input through the circuit breaker assembly. It should be installed close to the power supply.
  2. The load is applied through the circuit breaker assembly. It can be both common – for all groups, and individual – for each group (fig. 3,4).
Fig. 3


Fig 3.

Fig. 4
