1 The front end output voltage should match the specified input voltage range of the switching regulator.
2 The conductor to the Gi– terminal of the switching regulator has to be connected to earth by the installer according to the relevant
safety standard, e.g. IEC/EN 60950.
3 The installer shall provide an approved fuse (slow blow type with the lowest current rating suitable for the application, max. 12.5 A) in
a non-earthed input conductor directly at the input of the switching regulator. If Vo+ is earthed, insert the fuse in the Gi- line. For UL’s
purpose, the fuse needs to be UL-listed. If option C is fitted, a suitable fuse is already built-in in the Vi+ line.
4 The earth connection has to be provided by the installer according to the relevant safety standard, e.g. IEC/EN 60950.
5 Has to be insulated from earth by double or reinforced insulation according to the relevant safety standard, based on the maximum
output voltage from the front end (contrary to case marking: "This apparatus must be earthed", if applicable).
