Terminal #

Description

Usage

 

 

 

1

Normally Open

Normally Open is a fail-safe relay connection. Use this with the

 

 

Common terminal to act as switch contacts that remain open when

 

 

the unit is powered off or in a failure state.

 

 

 

2

Common

Common is a fail-safe relay connection. Use this terminal in

 

 

conjunction with the Normally Open or Normally Closed terminals.

 

 

 

3

Normally

Normally Closed is a fail-safe relay connection. Use this with the

 

Closed

Common terminal to act as switch contacts that remain closed

 

 

when the unit is powered off or in a failure state.

 

 

 

4

+ / L

+ / L is connected to the positive (+) input for DC sources or to the

 

 

Live input for AC sources. Use with partner terminal -/N.

 

 

 

5

- / N

- / N is connected to the negative (-) input for DC sources or to the

 

 

Neutral input for AC sources. Use with partner terminal +/L.

 

 

 

6

Chassis Ground

Chassis Ground must be connected to "Equipment Ground" for DC

 

 

installations or "Safety Ground" for AC installations.

 

 

 

E

Earth Ground

Earth Ground is a connection to the chassis that can be used for

 

 

earth bonding.

 

 

 

NOTES:

1.For terminal# 1 through 6, the use of ring terminals size #6 (M3.5) is recommended using stranded wire size AWG 18-14. Tighten all screws to a torque of 12 Lb-in (1.36 Nm).

2.For terminal# E, the use of ring terminal size #8 (M4) is recommended using stranded wire size AWG 18-14. Tighten screw to a torque of 12 Lb-in (1.36 Nm).

3.Use the “Chassis Ground” terminal connection for grounding the unit. “Earth Ground” should be used as secondary grounding source only.

4.Be sure to replace the clear plastic electrical safety shield before applying power to the unit.
