P a g e
All wires used and the way they are run must be in accordance with the local
electrical codes.
Keep mains/line voltage wiring physically separated from Ethernet and
signal wiring.
Power requirements
The module must be powered through terminals 45 and 46 by 10.8V - 36V DC.
Please pay attention to the correct polarity.
The galvanic isolation of the inputs is only effective if a separate power supply is
used for powering the inputs. The FNIP-8x16A has separate power input terminals
(43 and 44) for this purpose. If you choose not to use the extra protection the
isolated inputs offer, you can use the same power supply for both the main circuit
and the inputs. In that case, simply connect terminal 43 to terminal 45 and
terminal 44 to terminal 46.
Ethernet connection
Connect the module to the LAN via the RJ45 Ethernet socket.
Outputs
The FNIP-8x16A has eight heavy duty relay outputs. Almost any equipment used
in households or offices can be switched directly with the output relays. However,
if the load exceeds the specifications, an additional relay must be connected
between the output and the load. (for example in case of saunas, three-phase
equipment, driveway heaters, industrial machines, etc.)
All outputs have dry contacts, no power is provided for the connected circuits.
Use the outputs the exact same way as if they were mechanical contact
switches.
The outputs can be used everywhere where mechanical switches are used, simply
by connecting the output in series, the same way the switch is.
Local Inputs
For each output, there is a local input to allow for manual operation. If you do not
wish to use local inputs, this section may be skipped.
