 Wiring Notes

Section 2.1 - Connecting Relay Box to 120 Volt Power Source:

 

a) The 3-position screw terminal strip at the top center of each relay board is to provide power to the relays that is in turn distributed to the connected devices.

 

b) If using only one board of relays, the relay board with relays 1-4 must be used since the processor pulls power from this circuit.

 

c)  Input circuit size is determined by load ratings of devices connected to each bank of relays  

  Draper suggests that each bank of relays be connected to a dedicated 30 amp circuit.

 

d) Wire size will be determined by connected load and distance from power source and distance to farthest device to be operated.  

Section 2.2 - Connecting gym equipment or other directional devices to Relay Box:

  a) There are three screw terminal strips located next to each of the eight relay sets in each Relay Box that are labeled UP, DOWN and NEUTRAL.  
    UP and DOWN are the hot supply lines that become active when the relay is on.  
  b) Connect backstops, dividers, electric height adjusters or other directional items to be operated to these relay sets.
  c) Wire size will be determined by load rating of items connected to source and total distance from power source to the device.

Section 2.3 - Connecting auxiliary devices to Relay Box:

  a) The positions labeled AUX 1 and AUX 2 are for auxiliary outputs that have their own power supply 

(230VAC -30A-max)

, such as lights,  

    scoreboards, PA system, etc. 
  b) One connection is to be made to the hot wire of the supply. The other connection becomes hot when the relay for the auxiliary output is on.  
    The relay is continuous contact, and operates just like a switch opening and closing the hot wire.

Section 2.4 - Wiring the 4-position screw terminal on the Relay Box. 

  a) Use Two conductor -18 gauge shielded cable for communication, and Two conductor - 20 gauge cable for power 

(by others)

  b) You need to connect to all four terminals 

(TRX+, TRX-, +12DC and GND)

 for each touch pad being connected.  

    If you have multiple touch pads, you should connect one touch pad to Relay Box “0”.  
    Other touch pads can be connected to this same Relay Box or any other Relay Box on the network,  
  c) The TRX+ and TRX- lines are for communication. It is only necessary to connect these two lines between relay panels on the network.  

Section 2.5 - Wiring the 4-position screw terminal on the touch pad. 

  a) Use minimum 18 gauge shielded cable for all low voltage connections.
  b) It is necessary to connect all four terminals 

(TRX+, TRX-, +12DC and GND)

 to four conductor cables running from relay panel

(s)

.  

    If you have multiple touch pads, you should connect one touch pad to Relay Box “0”.  
    Other touch pads can be connected to this same Relay Box or any other Relay Box on the network.  
    Be careful to keep the same polarity as on the Relay Box.

 CAUTION 

1. 

This equipment should not be installed, 

operated or maintained by any person 

who has not read all the contents of 

these instructions. 

2. 

Operates on 110-120v AC, 60 Hz current.

3. 

Before connecting switches, controls, 

or electrical, make sure power is 

off. Wiring indicated in diagram by 

dashed lines must be completed by an 

electrician. 

4. 

Locate the Touch Panel so it is within 

clear view of the equipment being 

operated; it should also be in a location 

that will minimize the chance of 

damage.
