Supply Voltage Connections
The MXD73 can be powered from either an AC or DC supply voltage. The unit provides two
terminals for each of the input connections (“Live” & “Neutral”
for an AC input , or + & - for a
DC Input), plus an “Earth” terminal. This allows the supply to be “daisy chained” to the relay
contacts and/or other instruments. The instrument uses a universal power supply that
accepts a wide range of voltage and frequency inputs
. Refer to the label adjacent to the
power supply terminals for the input voltage limits. Exceeding these limits may
damage the instrument.
85-265V AC/DC
Power Connections
18-32V AC/DC
Power Connections
The power supply should be taken from an isolated spur and fused to a maximum of 3
Amps. If the relays require greater current, then a separate 5A fuse will be required. The
incoming Earth connection must be connected to the “Protective Earth” terminal.
