Troubleshooting
Terminal block not holding wire securely
Ensure the correct wire gauge is used (16/25 mm²). Check if the screw clamp is properly tightened. Make sure the conductor is fully inserted before tightening.
Overheating at connection point
Verify that the wire gauge and type are within the specified limits for the 80A rating. Ensure screws are tightened appropriately. Check for corrosion or damage on the conductor or terminal.
Difficulty mounting to DIN rail
Confirm that the DIN rail is a standard 35mm profile. Ensure the mounting clip on the terminal block is not obstructed or damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the main power supply is disconnected.
- Mount the KH24C terminal block onto a standard DIN rail using its integrated mounting clip.
- Strip the appropriate length of insulation from your 16 mm² or 25 mm² wires according to the terminal's specifications.
- Insert the conductors into the respective screw clamp connections.
- Tighten the screws firmly using a suitable screwdriver to secure the wires. Over-tightening should be avoided.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard 35mm DIN rails.
- Suitable for solid and stranded copper conductors within the 16 mm² to 25 mm² range.
- Designed for main branch circuit applications.
Care:
- Periodically inspect connections for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary, ensuring the power is off.
