Before starting, ensure the power is disconnected from the mains supply. Use only appropriate 3-core electrical cable suitable for your specific amperage requirements. To wire the unit, remove the casing screws, strip your chosen cable, and securely fasten the live, neutral, and earth wires into the labeled terminal blocks. Ensure all connections are tight and the cable clamp is secured to prevent strain on the terminals.

If the unit fails to provide power, first check the internal 13A fuse before inspecting your wiring connections.
