Opsætning og installation
ADVARSEL: Ensure all power is disconnected before proceeding with installation. Only qualified personnel should perform this procedure.
- Forbered panelet: Ensure the electrical panel or enclosure is de-energized and safe to work on. Verify with a voltage tester.
- Montering: The DPX3 160 is designed for DIN rail mounting. Securely attach the circuit breaker to the DIN rail in the designated position within the electrical panel.
- Ledningsforbindelser:
- Connect the incoming power supply conductors to the upper terminals of the circuit breaker.
- Connect the outgoing load conductors to the lower terminals of the circuit breaker.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts, which can cause overheating or arcing. Refer to local codes for appropriate wire gauges and torque specifications.
- Thermal Adjustment: If applicable, adjust the thermal trip setting (Ir) using the dial on the front of the breaker to match the specific requirements of the protected circuit. The range is typically 0.8 to 1 times the rated current (In).
- Bekræft installationen: Double-check all wiring and connections for correctness and security. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
- Gendan strøm: Once installation is complete and verified, carefully restore power to the main service panel.
Betjeningsvejledning
- Tænder: Push the toggle switch firmly upwards until the green 'O' indicator is visible. This indicates the circuit is closed and power is flowing.
- Slukker: Push the toggle switch firmly downwards until the red 'I' indicator is visible. This indicates the circuit is open and power is disconnected.
- Udløst tilstand: If an overload or short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will automatically trip. The toggle switch will move to a central, intermediate position.
- Nulstilling af en udløst afbryder:
- First, turn the breaker completely OFF (downwards) to reset the internal mechanism.
- Investigate and resolve the cause of the trip (e.g., unplug overloaded devices, fix short circuits).
- Once the issue is resolved, turn the breaker ON (upwards). If it trips again immediately, do not force it; consult a qualified electrician.
Opretholdelse
The Legrand DPX3 160 circuit breaker is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection by a qualified electrician is recommended.
- Visuel inspektion: Undersøg regelmæssigt afbryderen for tegn på fysisk skade, misfarvning eller løse forbindelser.
- Rensning: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the circuit breaker with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Ingen dele, der kan serviceres af brugeren: This device contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or repair the circuit breaker.
- Professionelt tjek: If the circuit breaker frequently trips without an apparent cause, or if it shows signs of damage, have it inspected and replaced by a qualified electrician.
Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Afbryderen udløses ofte. | Overbelastet kredsløb, kortslutning, jordfejl eller defekt apparat. | Reduce load on the circuit. Unplug appliances. Inspect wiring for damage. If problem persists, consult a qualified electrician. |
| Afbryderen nulstilles ikke. | Persistent fault on the circuit, internal breaker fault. | Ensure the toggle is pushed fully to the OFF position before attempting to reset. If it still won't reset, do not force it. Call a qualified electrician. |
| Afbryderen føles varm at røre ved. | Overbelastning, løs forbindelse eller intern fejl. | Immediately disconnect power to the circuit. Do not touch the breaker. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection and repair. |
For any issues not covered here, or if you are unsure about any electrical procedure, always consult a qualified and licensed electrician.
