2.5 Wiring
Installation
All electrical wiring installation work should be carried out in accordance with the code of practice or
applicable national standards appropriate to the country of installation.
To maintain electrical integrity of the SELV wiring on the input, output, loop and communications
lines all SELV wiring should be segregated from the LV mains wiring and be wired using cable with
insulation suitable for the application.
To minimise the effects of EMC interference all data wiring circuits should be wired with a twisted
pair of conductors with a cross sectional area suitable for the loading conditions.
In areas where cabling may come into contact with high frequency interference, such as portable
radio transceivers etc. the data wiring cable should be of a twisted pair construction within an overall
screen. Care should be taken to correctly terminate this screen, refer to the appropriate sections of
this manual for further information for each circuit type.
NB: Minimum / Maximum cable size for all external connections is limited to 0.5mm² / 2.5mm² (22-
14AWG).
2.5.1 AC
Mains
Wiring
Route the high voltage mains AC wiring into the
enclosure at the upper right corner only. Keep the
AC wiring away from the circuit boards and all
other wiring.

AC Mains terminations
The fuse is rated as follows:

Replace with correct rating and specification only.
Must be
earthed
The panels must be connected to
the supply earth through the power
cable.
The mains input connector is shown in the
diagram opposite. Note the positions of the earth,
neutral and live terminal connections. These are
clearly marked on the label next to the connector.
The connector block contains an integral fuse
holder.
Secure the mains input wiring by tie wrap as close
to the terminal block as possible.
Connect the Control Panel to the mains supply via
a readily accessible disconnect-device (Isolation
Switch) and suitable earth fault protection
incorporated in the building installation wiring. The
Mains cable should be 0.75mm

cable rated at
250V and fused via a 5A anti-surge fuse.
2.5.1.1 Cable
Gland
The cable gland and any cord clamp bushings used in routing the Mains cable through the
20mm knockout must have a minimum flame-retardant rating of 94HB.
Suggested glands and bushings are: -
Type
Gland IP65 – Brass M20, EExd / Eexe
Gland IP68 – Nylon 66 M20 Black, UL94V2
Bushing – Nylon 66 M20 Black, UL94V2
