Note: The integrity of the seal cannot be guaranteed once the
cover has been removed in the field!
To adjust the output voltage, the case cover must be removed.
Carefully loosen and remove all six screws, then remove the cover.
The output voltage of the unit can be adjusted by turning the
potentiometer screw, using an insulated screwdriver. By turning the
screw clockwise (cw) the output voltage will increase; by turning the
screw counter-clockwise (ccw), the output voltage will decrease. The
output voltage level should only be adjusted with the output
connected to a load, (similar to the load used in the application). After
adjusting the output voltage to the required value, the case must be
carefully reassembled. Place the cover over the case and ensure that
the rubber-sealing gasket is undamaged, and is correctly positioned.
Secure the lid with the six screws. Tighten the screws gradually,
moving diagonally from one to another. The recommended tightening
torque is 0.6Nm (5.310lb·in).

Safety Instructions:
 Before installation read these instructions carefully and
completely. This installation instruction cannot account for
every possible condition of installation, operation or
maintenance. Further information can be obtained from
your local distributor’s office or from the product datasheet,
which can be downloaded, from our website:
http://tracopower.com/products/tex120.pdf. You will find
additional information in our Instruction Manual, which can
also
be
downloaded
from
the
website:
http://www.tracopower.com/products/tex120_manual.pdf.
 These power supplies are constructed in accordance with the
safety requirements of EN60079-0:2009 & EN60079-15:2010,
Ex nA IIC T4 Gc.
Only trained personnel may open the power supply. Once the
cover is opened, the warranty is void!
Do not introduce any objects into the power supply. The output
voltage adjustment potentiometer may only be actuated using
an insulated screwdriver.
Keep away from fire
 The mains supply voltage connection, must be in

accordance to IEC 62103, EN 50178 and IEC 60364, VDE
100.
Prevent unintentional contact with a dry cloth.
 Before any installation, maintenance or modification work
Do NOT clean surfaces with a dry cloth!
ensure that the main switch is switched off and prevented

injury or substantial property damage. Proper and safe
operation is dependent on proper storage, handling,
installation and operation.
 Compliance with the relevant national regulations (in the
USA, Europe and other countries) must be ensured.
Before operation is started the following conditions must
be ensured:
 Connection to mains supply in compliance with national
regulations (VDE0100 and EN50178).
 By use of stranded wires, all strands must be fastened
in the terminal blocks. (Potential danger of contact with
the case)
 Power supply and mains wires must be sufficiently
fused.
 Degree of protection I to IEC536.The non-fused protective earth connection must be connected to the FG
terminal (Protection Class I).
 All output wires must be rated for the power supply output current and must be connected with the correct
polarity.
 Sufficient cooling must be ensured.
 Never work on the power supply if power is supplied!
Risk of electric arcs and electrical shock, which can cause
death, severe personal injury or substantial property damage.
 Copper conductors rated min. 60/75C only are to be used.
 Wire size 18-14 AWG only are to be used. (See Table 3)
 These devices are intended for installation on industrial
machines in accordance with the "Electrical Standard for
Industrial Machinery" (NFPA79). Due to the nature of these
devices they may not be suitable for installation accordance
with the "National Electrical Code" (NFPA70).
 The suitability of the use of flexible cord per CEC, PART I,
Rule 4-010, is to be determined by the local inspection
authority having jurisdiction
 This power supply is designed for professional outdoor
systems as well as indoor systems. It may be installed and
put into service by qualified personnel only.
 Do not operate without PE connection! To comply with EMC
and safety standards (CE mark, approvals) the power supply must be operated only if PE terminal is connected to the
non-fused earth conductor.
 The correct mounting position for optimal cooling performance must be observed. Do not cover any ventilation
holes. Leave a free space of minimum 50mm (2in.) above
and below the power supply. Observe power derating.
 The internal fuse is not accessible, as the user may not replace it. If this internal fuse has blown, the power supply
has an internal defect and, for safety reasons, must be
shipped to the local distributor. In case this internal fuse
has to be replaced in the field, replace only with same type
and rating of fuse for continued protection against risk of
fire.
 Warning: Hazardous voltages and components storing a
very substantial amount of energy are present in this
power supply during normal operating conditions. However,
these are inaccessible. Improper handling may result in an
electric shock or serious burns! Do not open the power

supply until at least 5 minutes after it has been disconnected from the mains on all poles.
 Class I Equipment (Chassis earthed)
 Do not operate voltage adjustment when an explosive
atmosphere may be present
 Do not disconnect while circuit is alive, unless area is
know to be non-hazardous.

When no connector is connected to the unit, the connectors
shall be sealed with the cover caps to maintain the degree
of protection.
Cover cap for Input connector 08-2301-000-000
Cover cap for Output connector 08-2302-000-000
Recycling: The unit contains elements that are suitable
for recycling, and components that need
special disposal. You are therefore requested
to make sure that the power supply will be
recycled at the end of its service life.
