=== 3.- Power connection ===
To power ''kiBox'' a 3-wire cable is required, connected to the central-lower connector. The cables to be connected, from left to right, are: ground, line and neutral. The voltage range must be between 88 and 264V in alternating current. With a network frequency between 47-63Hz. It is important to correctly connect the ground of the power supply since this will be used to shield the cables connected to the modbus ports.
