•Check the surge protector after lightning strikes and replace if
required. See Replace the Surge Protector, on page 14.
•An additional fuse may be required in regions with severe light-
ning strikes. To prevent unwanted triggering of the fuse, a
higher rated fuse may replace the 4 A MCB fuse, following local
regulations. In this case, put the 4 A MCB fuse after the surge
protector.

Install the Devices
•The electrical connections and conduit installations shall be
made by a certified electrician and in compliance with local
regulations.
•Risk of electric shock. The mains supply shall be disconnected
during installation.
•Keep the wires short but do not stretch them. Short wires give
better surge protection than long wires.
•The ground wire should be as short as possible and have as
large cross section as possible. Attach the ground wire to a
suitable grounding point, for example an earth stake.
1. Snap on the fuse, surge protector and terminal blocks on the DIN
rail. See Hardware Overview, on page 6 and the examples on
page 10. Make sure that the positions correspond to the slots in the
device cover.
See the User Guide provided with the surveillance cabinet for more
information about the device cover.
2. Connect the devices according to the connection diagram. See
page 7. Use a cable of minimum 2.5 mm
mains voltage.
3. Secure the cables. Use 2.8 Nm (25 lb-in) torque for the screw
terminals.
4. Attach the device cover to the cabinet base according to the
instructions provided with the surveillance cabinet.

The door switch included with the electrical safety kit can be connected
to the I/O port on a camera or an I/O device. See the camera’s
Installation Guide and User Manual for information about connecting
and configuring the camera’s I/O port.
1. Connect either of the connectors on the door switch cable to the
common terminal on the door switch.
2. Connect the other connector on the door switch cable to either of
the terminals on the door switch, depending on the desired function
of the switch.
3. Put the door switch in the slot on the cabinet door and secure it
with the supplied screw.

4. If connecting to the I/O port on a camera, route the door switch
cable through a cable gasket and attach the cable gasket to one of
the cable holes in the cabinet door.
5. Secure the cable to the door using the supplied cable clip.
6. Connect the door switch cable to the I/O port on the camera or the
I/O device.
See the camera’s Installation Guide and User Manual for
information about connecting and configuring the camera’s I/O
port.
7. Close the cabinet and make sure the switch is activated when the
door is closed and released when the door is opened. If necessary
bend the actuator.
