3. Configuració i instal·lació

Follow these steps for proper installation of the MAXTRACK LT3L Halogen Transformer.

3.1 Connexions de cablejat

1. Preparació del cablejat: Ensure all wires are stripped to the appropriate length for secure connection to the terminal blocks. The transformer supports 0.75-2.5mm² cables for both primary and secondary connections.
2. Input (Primary) Connection:
   • Locate the input terminals marked "PRI: 220-240V" or "L" i "N".
   • Connect the live wire from your 230V AC mains supply to the "L" terminal.
   • Connect the neutral wire from your 230V AC mains supply to the "N" terminal.
   • Assegureu-vos que les connexions siguin ajustades i segures.
3. Output (Secondary) Connection:
   • Locate the output terminals marked "SEC: ~11.6V". These are typically grouped for multiple lamp connexions.
   • Connect your 12V halogen lamps to these terminals. You can connect multiple lamps in parallel, ensuring the total wattage does not exceed 150W and is not below 50W.
   • Assegureu-vos que les connexions siguin ajustades i segures.
4. Cablejat segur: After making all connections, ensure the terminal covers are properly closed and secured.

3.2 Muntatge

The transformer is designed for rail mounting. Ensure it is mounted in a location that allows for adequate air circulation to prevent overheating. Avoid mounting near heat sources or in enclosed spaces without ventilation.

4. Funcionament

Once properly installed and connected, the MAXTRACK LT3L Halogen Transformer operates automatically. When power is supplied to the primary input, it converts the 230V AC to 12V AC for your halogen lamps. As this is a non-dimmable unit, it will provide constant power to the lamps when switched on.

5. Manteniment

The MAXTRACK LT3L Halogen Transformer requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

• Neteja: Ensure the transformer is clean and free from dust and debris. Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Inspecció: Periodically inspect the wiring connections for any signs of loosening or damage.
• Ventilació: Ensure that the ventilation around the transformer remains unobstructed.
