RM1250 User Guide

Wiring Requirements
: For optimum protection from transient voltages, all analog inputs must be in
their own multi-conductor jacket cable (such as cable AI part number 211061-000 - Belden 5308UE, or
its equivalent). All cables must have intact outer jackets, except for end cuts. Do not remove cable
jackets as they protect the unit input cable from transient voltages. Cable insulation should be suited
for voltage range of inputs. Cables should be rated at a minimum of 600 V and 105
˚
C.
Input Channel Voltage Levels
: All input channels are marked with acceptable input voltage ranges.
Ensure that devices connected to the RM1250 units fall within the voltages ranges listed next to the
channel input connections.
Mounting the Enclosure
: Choose an area that provides enough room to easily access the unit or to
perform routine maintenance after completing the installation.
