Wiring

IMPORTANT: All electrical wiring connections should be made only by trained personnel, and in strict accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.

The Series C controller has built-in circuitry to reduce the effects of electrical noise (RFI) from various sources. However, power and signal wires should always be kept separate. We recommend separating connecting wires into bundles: power; signal; alarms; and outputs. These bundles should then be routed through individual conduits. Shielded sensor cables should always be terminated at one end only.

If additional RFI attenuation is required, noise suppression devices such as an R.C. snubber at the external noise source may be used. If you wish, you may order this suppressor directly from Athena, part number 235Z005U01.
