Preparing captive wires
You will need a wire stripper, soldering iron, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare
and connect the captive wires.
1.
Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires and apply a light coat of solder to
the ends using a soldering iron.
2.
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the
wiring diagrams and connector types described in this subsection.
3.
Turn the flat-blade screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector.
Wiring guidelines
The touch panels require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The Central Controller
supplies power via the AXlink cable or external 12 VDC power supply. The maxi-
mum wiring distance between the Central Controller and touch panel is determined
by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable.
Figure 20 lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the mini-touch
panel and Central Controller. The maximum wiring lengths for using AXlink power
are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the Central Controller’s power
supply. For more information on power requirements, see the Specifications section.

Caution
Do not connect power to the
touch panel until the wiring is
complete. If you are using a
12 VDC power supply, apply
power to the touch panel only
after installation is complete.
Caution
Do not over-torque the
screws. Doing so can bend
the seating pin and damage
the connector.
