Open the cable penetration

Power cable

Before installing the housing make sure that all

the openings required for the power cable and the
process cable are open.

Use always a 3-core power cable (Fig. 4).

Use a 2-pole disconnector for RTU560E. Install
the disconnector at a reachable place.

Use a hammer and crewdriver or a drill to break

them open. (Fig. 3)
Use attached stepped nibles to close the wholes.

Use for power supply only!

Fig. 3: Cable penetration

Strip 130 mm of the insulation of the power cable.

Bend the green/yellow aerthing cable away from
the over two.Pull a heatshrinking sleeve, 110 mm
long, 8 mm O over the over cores (L and N
conductors) up to the insulation of the power
cable, and shrink the sleeve.

Install earthing point

The T-head bolt is the central point for earthing.
Mark this central earthing point with a label.
Insert T-head bolt into the C-rail approx. 45 mm
away from the edge of the lower part and put plain
washer U6,4 on it
Connect both cable to Phnix plug connectors of
the power supply 560PSU80/81. Connect the long
cable with P4 / PG, the short one with P2 / PE.
Fig. 5: Heatshrinking Sleeve
Pull a heatshrinking sleeve, 15 mm long, 8 mm O,
over the three cores so that part of it covers the
outer insulation of the supply lead and the over
