Wiring and Connections

3.2Connecting Digital Inputs and Outputs

The digital inputs and outputs are found on the lower right side of the AC4’s printed wiring assembly board. This section describes how to connect devices to the AC4’s inputs and outputs.

Each input is tied to an output with the same number:

•Input 1 is tied to Output 1 (default name: Device_1)

•Input 2 is tied to Output 2 (default name: Device_2)

•Input 3 is tied to Output 3 (default name: Device_3)

•Input 4 is tied to Output 4 (default name: Device_4)

Up to four devices may be connected to the AC4. Each device must be connected to an input and an output with the same number.

To determine the proper wire size, see Table 4 - Wiring specifications.

NOTE

Each terminal block is a removable assembly to permit easier connection of more than one input or output at a time. If making multiple connections, grasp the upper portion of a block and pull firmly until the assembly pulls apart.

After making the connections, push the removed piece back into the portion attached to the printed wiring assembly until the terminal block pieces lock together.

Connecting Liebert Environmental Units

For Liebert environmental units, follow these steps (be sure to connect the same device to inputs and outputs with the same number (Input 1 and Output 1, Input 2 and Output 2, and so on):

•Connect a digital input from the AC4 to the Common Alarm Relay of the environmental unit: terminals 75/76 or TB1-6,TB1-7.

•Connect a digital output (numbered the same as the input) from the AC4 to the Remote Shutdown (Power Control) of the environmental unit: terminal 37/38 or TB1-4, TB1-5.
