3.2  Connections and Wiring 

 
A minimum configuration will require a three-wire power connection and a three-wire RS-485 connection 
to  the  SmartBob  network.    Optionally,  there  may  be  a  two-wire  4-20mA  connection,  a  two-wire  external 
start connection and another three-wire RS-485 connection for the Expansion network. 
 
All wiring is fed through water-tight cordgrips and connected inside the lower wiring cabinet to pluggable 
terminal blocks mounted on the printed circuit board.  Remove the two screws on the lower wiring cabinet 
cover  to  gain  access  to  the  terminal  blocks.    When  wiring  is  complete,  be  sure  that  the  lid  is  properly 
fastened  down  for  a  water  and  dust-tight  seal.    Never  remove  or  unscrew  the  nameplate  lid  with  the 
keypad and LCD window. 
 
There are a total of five terminal blocks but only four cordgrip/entry points inside the wiring cabinet.  It is 
recommended that if all terminal blocks are being used, that the 4-20mA Output (CN3) and the External 
Start Input (CN4) share the same cordgrip/entry point. 
 
All  five  terminal  blocks  are  capable  of  supporting  22  to  12  AWG  size  wires.    Be  sure  to  use  the 
appropriate  wire  gauge/size  for  the  connections  and  follow  all  national  and  local  codes  concerning  this 
installation. 
 
 

3.2.1  Power Connection 

 

 

 
The power connection (CN8) is a three wire terminal block located on the far right.  Two terminal screws 
marked  +  and  –  are  for  connecting  to  a  24VDC  source,  isolated  from  earth  ground.    See  section  2.0 
Specifications for power source requirements.  Due to the low power requirements of this console, a 16 or 
18 AWG wire would be sufficient for these two power connections. 
 
The  terminal  screw  marked  with  the 

  symbol  should  be  connected  to  a  quality  earth  for  proper 

protection  from  lightning  and  other  electrical  surges  induced  in  an  industrial  environment.    It  is 
recommended  to  use  a  16  AWG  wire  or  larger  for  the  earth  connection  and  connect  it  to  the  closest 
possible source to earth. 
 
It is recommended to use a separate isolated power source for every device on a SmartBob system.  This 
will provide additional protection from lightning and other electrical surges. 
 
All three connections at CN8 are required for proper operation and protection of the console.
