You should also pay attention to the following:
•
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•
Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
•
We strongly advised that you label the wires to all devices in the system when necessary.
Grounding the VPort D361
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run
the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Relay Output
The VPort D361 has two sets of relay output—relay 1 and relay 2—located on the 8-pin terminal block
connector. Each relay output consists of the 3 contacts of the terminal block on the VPort D361’s top panel.
The Relay Output can be set up for:
System alarm: In this case, network disconnected.
Event alarm: Digital inputs.
ATTENTION
The current and power capacity of the relay output is a maximum of 24 VDC @ 1A. You should be careful not
to exceed this power specification.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the VPort to the DC/AC power inputs, make sure the voltage from the DC power source is
stable.
