Troubleshooting
Terminal not making a secure connection
Ensure the wire conductor is stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the screw terminal. Tighten the screw firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could damage the conductor. Verify the wire gauge is within the 10-35 mm² range.
Overheating at connection point
This usually indicates a loose connection or a wire gauge that is too small for the current load. Power off the circuit immediately. Inspect all connections for tightness. If the wire gauge is correct, ensure it is properly seated. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician.
Difficulty fitting into distribution board
Double-check the dimensions of the terminal (112 mm W x 280 mm D x 108 mm H) against the available space in your distribution board. Ensure no other components are obstructing the installation. Re-planning the layout of other components may be necessary.

Insert each conductor into its designated terminal and securely tighten the screw using a suitable screwdriver until the conductor is firmly clamped. Repeat for all 10 contacts as required by the wiring schematic.
Compatibility: This terminal is designed for use with main electrical cables and within electrical distribution boards. It is compatible with copper conductors within the specified 10-35 mm² range. Ensure the mounting location within the distribution board can accommodate its dimensions (112 mm Width x 280 mm Depth x 108 mm Height).
Care: Under normal operating conditions, this terminal requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect connections for any signs of loosening or corrosion, especially in environments with high humidity or dust. If cleaning is necessary, ensure the power is OFF and use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
