2.7.2 MULTIPLE AUTOANCHOR INSTALLATIONS
It is important when wiring multiple AutoAnchor products that potential differences do not
occur along the ground connection. This can cause incorrect counting. Ensure AA560
and AA150 consoles and AA703 base stations are star grounded, and that there are no
other high current paths between consoles.
All wiring for multiple installations is run in
parallel.
Refer to wiring diagrams for further details.
2.7.4 PLUG & PLAY SENSOR CONNECTIONS
The AA703 Base Station and the sensor are prefitted with connector plugs. The 2m sensor
cable plugs direct into the base station. Extension cables are available. See page 5 for
plug and play sensor cable information.
2.7.5 CONNECTING THE CABLES INTO THE BASE STATION
Remove the lid from the AA703 base station. Feed the multi-core cable through the
waterproof gland. Connect the cables to the terminal block, using a screwdriver to press
down and open each terminal as required. (See the photograph below). Tighten the cable
gland. Replace the lid.
2.7.3 CONNECTION TO LOW CURRENT DRIVES
When connecting to equipment with solid state switching or other low current drives, eg
PLC or AC variable frequency, a dummy resistor load (Part # 9083) may be required to
provide sufficient loading and to meet EMC and safety considerations. The resistor pack
should be installed close to the equipment control
not on the AA703 base station.
