Hello Ricardo,

I ask for your understanding but as a rule I do not give any instructions to
laypersons as soon as mains voltages are involved in the wiring (mains
inlet, fuse holder, mains switch, mains connection of the power supply and
wiring). I strictly recommend to ask a specialist (who is familiar with the
safety rules and is able to meet them) to carry out these works. There is
danger to life if something is wired in the wrong way or cables that lead
mains voltage become loose.

I hope you understand my point of view. I'm not too lazy to help you but I
wan't to save the lifes of our customers :-)

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
