– Complete the electronic switch insert with corre-

sponding modules (see function overview).

– PlusLink Expander (Art. no. MEG5130-0000)

DANGER

Risk of death from electric shock.

All work on the device should only be carried out

by trained and skilled electricians. Observe the

country-specific regulations.

DANGER

Risk of death from electric shock.

The outputs may carry an electrical current even

when the device is switched off. Always discon-

nect the fuse in the incoming circuit from the sup-

ply before working on connected loads.

DANGER

Risk of death from electric shock.

The PlusLink carries an electrical current even

when the device is switched off. Before working

on the device, always disconnect it from the sup-

ply by means of the fuse in the incoming circuit. If

one or more PlusLink lines are separately fused in

your installation then they are not electrically iso-

lated from one another. In this case, you should

use the PlusLink Expander.

CAUTION

The device can become damaged.

The voltage differential between different phases

can damage the device. All devices connected to

one or more PlusLink lines must be connected to

the same phase.

For your safety

ende

You can use the electronic switch insert (referred to be-

low as the insert) to switch ohmic, inductive or capaci-

tive loads per channel.

The insert is overload-proof and short-circuit-proof.

The insert also comes with one (1-gang insert) or two (2-

gang insert) PlusLink inserts, with which you can control

the channels from another location. The insert, complet-

ed with a module (see the function overview), is the re-

ceiving device and is controlled via PlusLink (PL) by the

sending device.

Sending devices are, for instance:

• Central unit insert (completed with corresponding

modules)

• Side controller Plus, 1-gang/2-gang

• Mechanical push-buttons

• External sensors

To be able to use the PlusLink, you require a separate

core in your installation.

The total length of cable sections in a PL line is

not allowed to exceed 100 m (when a 3-core ca-

ble is used).

CAUTION

The insert can become damaged!

• Always operate the insert in compliance with

the specified technical data.

• Observe the different minimum loads.

• Connected devices can be damaged if you

connect mixed loads (inductive and capacitive)

on one channel at the same time.

• Operate the insert only on a sinusoidal mains

voltage.

• Switching socket-outlets is prohibited. The risk

of overloading and the risk of unsuitable loads

being connected is too high.

• If a terminal is used for looping, the insert must

be protected with a 6 A circuit breaker.

If you do not install the device in a single, standard

flush mounting box, the maximum permissible

load is reduced due to the restricted heat dissipa-
