Select the gauge for control wiring from the bottom chart. For distances of more than 350 feet, a long-
distance interface is required.
5.
Wire run calculations are based on the National Electrical Code, Article 430, allowing 5 percent voltage
drop.
6.
Supply voltage must be within 10 percent of the operator rating under load conditions (not applicable for
208V).
7.
