Troubleshooting
Terminal not making a secure connection
Ensure the correct cable size is used for the terminal slot. Verify that the cable is fully inserted and the terminal screw is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Check the DIN rail for proper fit.
Overheating at the terminal point
Immediately disconnect power. Check for loose connections, undersized wiring, or exceeding the 160A rating. Inspect for any foreign material causing resistance. Consult a qualified electrician.
Difficulty sliding onto DIN rail
Ensure you are using a standard 35mm DIN rail. Check for any obstructions or damage on the terminal's mounting clip or the DIN rail itself.
