E. ELECTRICAL: 

The ABC controller has been designed to physically separate the high voltage
connections from low voltage connections. Use only 16 or 18 AWG wire for
conduit power and load connections.

1) High Voltage Connections:

Units must be wired by the customer, refer to Fig. 3 (also see Fig. 10) for
wiring the high voltage connections. The connector JP16 is for the AC input
voltage, JP4 and JP5 are relay driven AC outputs, they change simultaneous-
ly and have a maximum output of 5 amps. 
The ABC 50 has two fuses for protection, a 1 amp fuse for the controller
power supply, and a 5 amp fuse for the relay output. Part numbers can be
found in the Trouble Shooting section.
Use the following table when connecting to JP4, JP5, and JP16:

CIRCUIT DESIGNATOR

CONNECTION TYPE

BLK or NO/NC

Line

WHT

Return

GRN

Ground

NOTE: Always use caution when making any electrical connection. Follow
all applicable electrical codes. The power supply should be disconnected
at the main before making any (high or low voltage) connections.
