Chapter 2 Installation

 

 

Warning! To avoid potential electric shock, follow National Electric Code safety practices or your local code when wiring this unit to a power source and to peripheral devices. Failure to do so could result in injury or death. All AC power connections must be in accordance with published CE direc- tives. All wiring procedures must be per- formed with the power off.

Wiring Connections

The NEMA 4X enclosure contains an integral wiring compartment with one dual strip terminal block (located in the smaller end of the enclo- sure). Two 3/4-inch female NPT conduit entries are available for sepa- rate power and signal wiring. For all hazardous area installations, make sure to use an agency-approved fitting at each conduit entry. If conduit seals are used, they must be installed within 18 inches (457 mm) of the enclosure.

Input Power Connections

To access the wiring terminal blocks, locate and loosen the small set screw which locks the small enclosure cover in place. Unscrew the cover to expose the terminal block.

Caution! The AC wire insulation tempera- ture rating must meet or exceed 85°C (185°F).

AC Terminals

AC Power Wiring

The AC power wire size must be 20 to 10 AWG with the wire stripped 1/2 inch (14 mm). The wire insulation temperature must meet or exceed 85°C (185°F). Connect 100 to 240 VAC (25 watts maximum) to the Hot and Neutral terminals on the terminal block. Connect the ground wire to the safety ground lug. Torque all connections to 4.43 to 5.31 in- lbs (0.5 to 0.6 Nm). Use a separate conduit entry for signal lines to re- duce the possibility of AC noise interference.

DC Power Wiring

The DC power wire size must be 20 to 10 AWG with the wire stripped 1/2 inch (14 mm). Connect 18 to 36 VDC (100 mA maximum current draw) to the +Pwr and –Pwr terminals on the terminal block. Torque all connections to 4.43 to 5.31 in-lbs (0.5 to 0.6 Nm).
