MOUNTING ON DIN RAIL. The KDN Series is
designed to mount on a 35mm DIN rail only as shown in Figure 3 with ventilation holes at top and bottom. Install by inserting one edge of mounting bracket on DIN rail as shown, then
press down to snap onto DIN rail.
REMOVAL. Remove by pulling hook down to release
mounting bracket from DIN rail, then swing power supply away
from DIN rail.

the AC input Neutral, Line and Ground wires to the respective terminals of the terminal block (see Figure 1). Wire strip
length for both a-c and d-c connector is approximately 1/4
inch (6 - 7mm). See Figure 4 for connecting multiple loads.

CORRECT METHOD
IV — OPERATION
The Output Voltage Adjust trimmer (see Figure 1) allows
adjustment of the output voltage within the range specified in
Table 1. When output voltage is within specified adjustment
range, the green LED is on. The LED is off as described in
“Power OK Indicator:” on page 2.
PARALLEL OPERATION: Model KDN 24-20 (only) may
be operated in parallel for increased current capability (see
Figure 5). Connecting the PS (Power Share) terminals forces
the current load to be shared equally among paralleled units.
NOTE: ISOLATION DIODES ARE INCLUDED IN KDN 24-20.
