Prewired Connectors
The wiring harness kit contains several prewired connectors for relay current inputs, power, and
ground connections. These prewired connectors include the following:
(3) six-position CT shorting connectors for current inputs IAW1, IBW1, and ICW1;
IAW2, IBW2, and ICW2; and IAW3, IBW3, and ICW3. For these connectors select a
wire size from AWG 16 to 10.
(1) four-position connector for PT wiring. Plug the connector into terminals Z19
through Z22. The connector is keyed uniquely and locks in place upon insertion.
(1) connector for POWER inputs (+ and –). For these connectors select a wire size
from AWG 18 to 14.
(1) spade connector for chassis GROUND connection.
Unwired Connectors
With the wiring harness kit are the following unwired connectors for the relay optoisolated
inputs, output contacts, and EIA-485 communications port connections:
(2) eight-position female plug-in connectors for output contacts OUT101 through
OUT104 and OUT105 through ALARM.
(2) six-position female plug-in connectors for optoisolated inputs IN101 through IN103
and IN104 through IN106.
(1) eight-position female plug-in connector for the EIA-485 serial port connection
Port 1 and the demodulated IRIG-B input. Alternatively, you can bring IRIG-B through
Port 2.
(4) six-position female plug-in connectors for interface board output contacts OUT201
through OUT203, OUT204 through OUT206, OUT207 through OUT209, and OUT210
through OUT212.
(2) eight-position female plug-in connectors for interface board optoisolated inputs
IN201 through IN204 and IN205 through IN208.
Note:
These unwired connectors accept wire sizes AWG 24 to 12. To install these
connectors, you will need a wire stripping tool and small, slotted-tip screwdriver.
Strip 0.31 inches (8 mm) insulation from the wires and install the wires in the
connectors. Secure each connector to the relay chassis with the screws located on
each connector end.
Connections
Frame Ground
For safety and performance, ground the relay chassis at terminal GND (Z27). Connectorized
relays provide a 0.250-inch-by-0.023-inch spade connector for this connection. If the tab on the
