MERLIN NX ROOM CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS

EN1Z-1035GE51 R0319
POWER SUPPLY
General Information
CAUTION
To prevent a risk of injury due to electrical shock
and/or damage to device due to short-circuiting, low-
voltage and high-voltage lines must be kept physically
separate from one another.
Further, to prevent a risk of short-circuiting and
damage to your unit, do not reverse the polarity of the
power connection cables, and avoid ground loops
(i.e., avoid connecting one field device to several
controllers).
NOTE:
All wiring must comply with applicable electrical
codes and ordinances. Refer to job or manu-
facturers’ drawings for details. Local wiring guide-
lines (e.g., IEC 364-6-61 or VDE 0100) may take
precedence over recommendations provided in
these installation instructions.
NOTE:
To comply with CE requirements, devices having a
voltage of 50...1000 VAC or 75...1500 Vdc but
lacking a supply cord, plug, or other means for
disconnecting from the power supply must have the
means of disconnection (with a contact separation of
at least 3 mm at all poles) incorporated in the fixed
wiring.
Wiring
230-VAC Models
The 230-VAC models are powered via an orange fixed screw-
type terminal block (terminals 1+2). See also Fig. 16. These
terminals support 1 x 4 mm

or 2 x 2.5 mm

wiring.

24-VAC Models
The 24-VAC models are powered via a black removable
terminal plug (terminals 3+4), thus allowing daisy chain wiring
of the power supply. See also Fig. 17. These terminals

Communication / Signal Terminals
All other (i.e.: communication / signal) terminals (except for
the Sylk Bus – see Table 12) support 1 x 2.5 mm
2
or 2 x 1.5
mm
2
wiring. Two wires with a total thickness of 2.5 mm
2
(14 AWG) can be twisted together and connected using a
wire nut (include a pigtail with this wire group and attach the
pigtail to the individual terminal block). Deviations from this
rule can result in improper electrical contact. Local wiring
codes may take precedence over this recommendation.
Electrical Data
RL2N, RL8N, RS4N (230 VAC)
Power via terminals 1 + 2: 230 VAC +10% / -15%, 50/60 Hz.
Max. power consumption (when unloaded):
8 W.
Max. power consumption (when loaded):
18 W.
The controller is "unloaded" when it has no external load.
Thus, the only load on the controller is the inherent load (8 W)
of the electronics, themselves. The heat dissipation then
amounts to 8 W. The controller is "loaded" when – besides
the inherent load – an additional sum load resulting from max.
300 mA
(irrespective as to whether it is supplied by the con-
troller's internal transformer or by an external source) is
applied to the 24 VAC output terminals. The max. unloaded
output voltage at terminals 3 and 4 (RSxN) or terminals 5 and
6 (RLxN), respectively, is 33 VAC (typically: 29.5 VAC).
RL6N, RS5N (24 VAC)
Power via terminals 3+4: 24 VAC
20%, 50/60 Hz.
Max. current consumption (when unloaded):
300 mA.
Max. current consumption (when loaded):
900 mA.
The controller is "loaded" when – besides the inherent load
(300 mA) – an additional sum load resulting from max.
600
mA
is applied to the 24 VAC output terminals. The max.
unloaded output voltage at terminals 3 and 4 (RSxN) or
terminals 5 and 6 (RLxN) is identical with the output voltage of
the external supplying transformer.
