Splitter Box Characteristics and Wiring

Connecting the Actuators and Sensors

Description

Characteristics of the Connections

The actuators and sensors are connected to the FTB splitter box using M12-type connectors.

The maximum admissible load for the FTB splitter boxes is limited to:

1.6 A per output (actuator current),

￿200 mA for both inputs (sensor current).

WARNING

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND NON-COMPLIANCE WITH IP67

Unused M12 connectors must not be left unprotected. If an M12 connector is not correctly connected to the end of another connector or standard cable, fit a sealing plug in order to ensure that the product is IP67 standard compliant. To ensure the IP67 protection index, check that the cover is screwed onto the base splitter box and that all connectors are fitted with cables or sealing plugs.

Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
